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.

Attending Ironwood Ridge high-school from 2021-2025 was a overall good experience. The teachers listen and are attentive to student needs, and the school culture is mostly positive.

Truly an amazing school. From freshman year all the way to senior year it was just one big stride in the right direction.

The time I have spent at Ironwood has been fairly enjoyable. Some of the students that were there caused a bit of trouble and made life a little bit harder; but the staff tries really hard to make everyone feel like a family. The teachers are very qualified to do the jobs they have been given allowing me to easily learn.

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...
