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.

My experience in Irvington High School has been interesting, to say the least. Academics have always been easy for me, but in Irvington, being smart isn't enough. A lot of it is about how lucky you get with your teachers, how well you can plan your year out. The academics didn't cause me too much stress, since I've been lucky with my time there. However, our school is quite cliquey, and it can be challenging to make new friends.

Education is fine, it really depends on what teachers you get. School itself definitely needs some renovation. Best marching band in the area, with great music and marching instructors. Benchmark projects prepare students pretty well.

Classrooms are clean and food is good given it's free for all students this year, but getting your requested classes/changing classes may be difficult and the roofs of the hallways often leak.
