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.

Irving High School is a good school to go to, the counselors and the staff were a great support system all throughout my high school years. There are teachers here who make it their job for every student to understand their lessons and even have one on one lessons when they are on break. Over all Irving High school is a great school with having a good support system with their staff.

At Irving High School, I was able to fully get ready for college and career readiness. The teaching methods that the teachers and faculty use has helped students become great scholars. Graduating from Irving High School has been an honor.

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...

Definitely could improve.Some teachers are great but honestly that’s not enough. I recommend going somewhere else for a better high school experience.

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...
