My experience and Irving high school has been okay. I transferred from Nimitz high school to Irving high school and it was a huge difference for me. I had a huge struggle Keeping Up with my courses and many teachers wanted to help but some made it difficult for me to keep track in certain topics, but as the school year went by I started making friends and getting along with teachers and I wanted to show up to class because I knew I was going to be okay.

I enjoy my time here at Irving High School. I've had the chance to be a part of great things and receive awards for my accomplishments. The only critique I have about this school is the lack of personnel at this school. There aren't many teachers at this school, so some classes have up to 30+ students in one room, which can be uncomfortable and distracting. Regardless, I made many memories at this school and will miss it after graduation.

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...
