Iron Mountain High School Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 40 reviews
Love the teachers and faculty. The student body and school spirit are lacking. Great scholarship opportunities though.
I graduated from Iron Mountain High School, and there was some favoritism, especially if you played a specific sport. There are a lot of co-op teams with the neighboring school, Kingsford, because otherwise there wouldn’t be the funding or student base to support it. A lot of the facilities cater toward basketball, football, and track. If you’re in a different sport, often times you had to find your own solution to the issues you and your team faced.
Overall, good. PBL was great and it’s how I chose my major and future career. I think the program does not exist anymore under current administration. I think that’s a big letdown for current and future students. I had a horrid experience with a chemistry teacher in 10th grade, but I don’t think he works there anymore either. I loved the dual-enrollment program with Bay.
Most teachers were very caring and attentive. Small classroom sizes give students one-on-one attention which creates a great learning environment. The high school building was redone and is very nice.
Iron Mountain High School is really a place to become successful. My peers are lovely and I’ve enjoyed working with all the teachers there. I would suggest having some more AP classes on campus.
I transferred to Iron Mountain High School my junior year. I was automatically accepted by my peers and the principal made the admission process a breeze. The teachers are so wonderful at what they do and really do their best at making everyone feel included. I have to say that Iron Mountain is the first school that I have felt excited to go into each morning and safe, which is my number one priority as a teenager.
Iron Mountain High School is a great place to be a high school student. We have experienced teachers and small class sizes so you get individual attention. We have band, pep band, marching band, jazz band, chorus, art, all levels of math, science, history, English, dual enrollment with Bay College, and two hour block classes at the area vocational/tech center including auto body, welding, graphic communications, and health occupations. We have sports including football, volleyball, soccer, golf, basketball,track, wrestling, tennis, bowling, and softball. There are opportunities for competition in academics with a Quiz Bowl team and robotics. Our small student body size results in what we call the “Mountaineer family”. Past graduates include NFL network analyst Steve Mariucci, MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo, Wendy’s restaurant CEO Todd Penegore, and Chicago stock exchange CFO Tim Metzler, to name a few. Iron Mountain schools are truly the place to succeed!
I came to this school my junior year and could not have been happier. I have made many friends, and the staff is very friendly. I have found myself being more successful at this school compared to my previous.
I am so thankful for being raised, educated, and loved by the staff of Iron Mountain High School. Forever a Mountaineer.
I have been in the Iron Mountain school district since Kindergarten. My experience was pretty good compared to some schools. Most of the teachers actually care about their students and will go above and beyond to help them learn. Great clubs and sports teams here too. Most people find a group they fit into pretty easily here.
IMHS has provided an excellent education to my children.

Iron Mountain after school programs and athletics are great. My children really enjoy them.
The teachers at the school are very dedicated and very qualified. They have done an excellent job of teaching my children in the subject they have taken. My younger child needed extra help and he got all that he needed. I think the teachers at IMHS are the best in the area. Other schools have hired some away and tried to hire others. This to me means we have high quality teachers when other schools try to hire them away.
There is obvious favoritism for the students that participate it athletics. Our school is all about athletics, and not very involved in the arts. Some parents, the ones with money, seem to run the school, and have many connections with all the school staff. There also is barely a variety of classes to take. If I could go back, I would reconsider going to Iron Mountain High School.
Many teachers at our school are teaching subjects that they aren't even qualified to teach. There is a lot of obvious favoritism among the students that the teachers show. Grading is not consistent, and the teachers could definitely try harder when it comes to going above and beyond for their students.
My time at Iron Mountain schools had been great. I feel all staff is willing to help when ever you need it. The school has recently has had trouble but they will get through it. Iron Mountain has pushed me to become the well rounded individual person I have become.
