Irvine High School is a well kept facility, although it is old. Students and faculty are generally nice and they offer many resorces for students.

This school provided many opportunities with academics, athletics, and extra curriculars. It does lack discipline of individuals based on issues seen throughout the school, but overall a school filled with diversity and fun activities.
