GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I always brag about how much my daughter accomplished in kindergarten where most others learned in 3rd or 4th grade. Its not chaotic while walking the halls and the classrooms have students fully engaged. Teachers have been there for 10 to 20+ years which says a lot about the culture. I recommend James Irwin to anyone I talk to or looking to teach.

James Irwin staff have supported our student both academically and emotionally. They teach character from the top down. We have a new student in 5th grade that has been able to make friends and connect with teachers. There is a high level of structure that allows for more learning and more fun.

Especially whe...
