Irving High School is a very welcome place for students. The majority are hispanic/latinos. I personally always had fun and there are plenty of activities for students to be involved in. However some teachers do not always care about students or grades. Irving is a good place for students to be prepared for college if they put their mind to it and get involved in the wide range of AP classes and dual credit classes provided.

Irving High School is a well organized school, the admin cares about all the students and they work really hard to follow state rules/regular basis rules. Their main concern is to make sure every student gets to class on time and make sure they go to class as well. My overall experience in Irving High now that I'm a Senior is that its a very quiet/chill school, there isn't a lot of drama unless you're involved, other than that the hallways get overly packed when its passing period. That would be the only downside of the school, but other than that Irving High is a good school.

Everything is unorganized and never done on time. The principal was just as bad luckily he is retiring. Not everything is bad there’s a few g...

Teachers at this school are so unprofessional! My student knows more about what their teacher did over the weekend, who they're dating, where they live etc. than the lesson at hand. No encouragement what so ever.....teachers are more concerned with being students friend than teaching. Don't let this...
