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.

My experience was not the greatest. Many of the teachers and administrators were not helpful or qualified to be in the positions they had.

Although, I'd only been here for about 6 months as a Junior, but I'm graduating early, the atmosphere of this school is very welcoming and warm. A lot of teachers and students do try to help you quite a lot! I'd give this school a 10

Overall positive experience I had going to school there. Again, everyone has a different experience but I personally grew as a person there. IRHS also prepared me to be successful at a 4 year out of state university and have seen many of my peers also find success. With anything in life, you get wha...
