Irvington High School Reviews
Rating 3.56 out of 5 723 reviews
My experience at Irvington High School was both challenging and rewarding. The academic rigor was commendable, with dedicated teachers and a variety of AP courses. The diverse range of clubs and sports fostered inclusivity and personal growth.
However, the student-to-teacher ratio often meant less individualized attention, and the understaffed guidance counseling department sometimes delayed crucial advice.
Improvements I'd like to see include more resources for mental health services, to support students amid academic pressures. Despite its flaws, Irvington provided opportunities for growth if you're ready to seek them out. It's a school continuously striving to better serve its students.

Irvington is an average school. There are better and worse schools in the area.
Starting off with academics, Irvington students are *very* competitive. The school has its fair share of brilliant students, and not so brilliant students. Though lacking APs compared to other schools, Irvington does have a nice handful of dual enrollment/college cred courses. Ex: Chinese 1- AP Chinese all provide college cred thru Ohlone College since the 2 Chinese teachers are qualified to teach at a college lvl. There's also benchmark projects for every year except Junior, passing all 3 projects are needed to graduate. Heavily research based, but pretty straightforward and doable.
The campus itself is old. Bathrooms are frequently closed due to repairs, internet is often extremely slow, and sometimes doesn't work at all. Locker rooms and bathrooms definitely need to be repaired.
Teachers are a 50/50. I had to teach myself everything when I took geometry since the teacher barely taught :)

Irvington High School is the school where I have a satisfying experience. Although I often encounter problems like burnout, I met a lot of supportive teachers who are willing to help me with assignments and even college applications. In addition, the part I would like to see change in Irvington is that they should add more selections of AP courses. I have a Japense classmate who expresses disappointments that Irvington did not include AP Japanese Language and Culture as part of the course registration. Overall, Irvington High School is the place where I builds up a lot of community service experiences and knowledges.
