INDIANTOWN
HIGH SCHOOL

Operated by Indian River State College (IRSC) in partnership with the Martin County School District, IHS integrates traditional high school curriculum with workforce and college courses, producing graduates that can directly pursue career opportunities or higher education upon graduation. With smaller class sizes, college-style block scheduling, and our Pathfinder Advisory, we are uniquely equipped to meet the needs of all learners!

Indiantown High School opened its doors on August 10, 2022, for incoming Grade 9 students, offering programs that meet Florida’s public high school graduation requirements, career and technical certifications, and college-level Dual Enrollment opportunities. On August 9, 2023, the state-of-the-art 60,000 square-foot building opened for Grade 9, 10 and 11 students at 19000 Southwest Citrus Boulevard. Since Fall 2024, Indiantown High School has served students in grades 9-12.

Students have a rigorous and robust selection of academic and career technical education (CTE) courses to choose from. Our CTE Academies include Medical Technology, Building/Trades Technology, Mechanical/Technical Technology (which includes welding and automotive/marine), Agriculture Sciences Technology, and Media/Computers/Marketing! Eligible students may earn dual enrollment college credits and industry certifications as early as their freshman year.

Apply to Indiantown High School

As a “choice” school in Martin County, your child MUST be registered with us to attend! Simply fill out the application form on this  site, or call the school directly for more information. We look forward to partnering with you for your child’s academic and career success.

Student applications are submitted in accordance with state and local guidelines and preference is given to siblings of current students. All applications are accepted up to enrollment numbers, provided the student has an adequate number of credits for the grade being entered.

Students must submit an application during the district determined windows for school choice. If more applicants apply than seats are available, the accepted students will be chosen on a randomized draw with preference being given to siblings of current students.

Students who do not receive a spot through the random selection/lottery process will be assigned a number on the waitlist.  If space becomes available, students will be notified accordingly.

Florida Statute 1002.33(10)(b) ELIGIBLE STUDENTS: The charter school shall enroll an eligible student who submits a timely application, unless the number of applications exceeds the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or building. In such case, all applicants shall have an equal chance of being admitted through a random selection process.

ESSA

Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), schools must track and report student progress every year. For students receiving special education services, this progress monitoring is tailored to their individual needs, as outlined in their Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP team regularly reviews and analyzes how a student is progressing. Based on this review, the team can adjust teaching methods or materials and modify the student’s goals to ensure they are appropriate and challenging. For students at Indiantown High School (IHS), specialized services like speech and occupational therapy are provided by the Martin County School District (MCSD). Additionally, MCSD is responsible for training and guiding all employees who work with students in Exceptional Student Education (ESE).
