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.

Irvington High School is amazing there are lots of opportunities for extracurriculars, and sports. We have a dedicated club day where students can go to clubs during school hours. The only this some students see as an issue is the amount of AP classes available but I think the school has enough AP classes to choose from.

I attended this school for about two years and what I can say is this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in an academic setting in my entire life. Not only am I not white I am also a Latina female who has encountered quite a few racist interactions not only with students but with the staff as well. Many of the students are very drug-oriented, problematic, and constantly getting in trouble with the police. I do not recommend this school for anyone's child's mental health and well being.

Definitely an excellent educational experience, but needs to be more supportive of people with learning differences and/or kids who struggle in certain academic subjects.

An absolute disgrace for a school. Students are loud and extremely over-confident, making it extremely difficult for other kids who are more quiet and dedicated to thrive. The administration lacks fairness and equality. An absurd emphasis on sports while the academic challenges continue to disappoin...
