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.

I've met some great people at Irvine High School, this includes students and staff. Of course there is always going to be that one teacher that you just can't seem to like or enjoy being in their class. That has also happened to me before but I am also sure that that really can occur at any school. It most recently happened to me with my math teacher, he was not very nice, helpful, or encouraging. However, that ended up helping me put more trust into myself by showing myself that I am able to get through that class and if I have to teach myself the material then that is what I will. That is something that made me proud of myself.

Irvine's has a very mature student body organization. School has very strong sense of community. Facility is relatively old compared to other schools in the district.

It's a school with a great work-life balance and a really diverse community. The teachers are very supportive of your academic endeavors, and they assign a reasonable amount of homework each night. Most people are collaborative, rather than competitive, which I felt gave me more motivation to perform better on a daily basis. Overall a great experience.
