My experience at ironwood has been great so far, the teachers are nice and understanding. The students are nice as well. The change i would like to see is the bathrooms.

She is bi-racial, with a conservative background, and is an above-average achieving student. She's involved in performing arts. We...

My daughter has just started grade 9 and so far she has been very happy but if you are patriotic and you want your child to say the pledge every morning, best you go to Cactus high school. Ironwood has taken the pledge away. Very disappointing for many pupils and parents.
