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.

Overall, my experience at Irondale has been very positive. I have felt adequately supported by most of my teachers. I have enjoyed the extracurriculars that I'm involved in. Admins, especially our principal, really try to connect with the students.

My overall experience at Irondale is a great experience, I'm so sad that I'm going to be leaving . The staffs always make you feel like you belong and they make you feel included. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience at Irondale. Something I would want to see change is the food portion, we are high schoolers and we eat a lot

The staff at Irondale are some of the most welcoming people I have ever met. These teachers and faculty genuinely desire success for their students and are driven to change our community. Although our sports are not the greatest, the atmosphere of the games and teams make up for it.

Overall this school is great, great people, community, faculty and staff and the coursework is rigorous but fair. Up until the point where I went off the college and found that the school had not dropped the classes, I intended to drop as to not affect my post-secondary GPA. I found out the hard way...
