TLDR: Nice town, great schools, not much diversity.
Used to live in Irvington, attended its schools from 2006-2013. As others have mentioned it's a lovely little town on the Hudson. Features a charming Main Street, parks with great views, and an excellent library among other features. As a student, I felt I received a pretty good education. Most of the teachers were clearly experts in their respective fields, most were friendly. The school and town were mostly made up of white, upper-middle class to wealthy residents, whereas my family was more lower-middle class. Like with any school it was cliquey, but I personally never felt bullied or left out, and was generally on good terms with my classmates. In addition I also participated in the local Boy Scout Troop (Troop 55). During my time there we not only went on camping trips, but also did various community service projects around the town. We also marched in the annual Memorial Day Parade from Main Street School to Memorial Park.

So far, my experience living in Irvington has been great. I moved here three year ago, when I came from Brazil to study English. It was love at first sight!
Irvington is a beautiful and peaceful village, nearby Hudson river. The town is pretty the whole year; however, my favorite period is April to September, when I can bike to the parks by the river, and watch the sunset. Another thing I love about Irvington, is that it close enough to New York City, so I enjoy the nightlife.
If I had to point out a minus of this Village, it would be the prohibition of dogs in almost all the parks. For me it seems nonsense that dogs are not welcome at such family friend places. In fact, having pets on the parks would be even helpful, since they could keep the geese alway. Those birds make the parks pretty dirty.

The only reason I'm not giving this a 1 is because it's a pretty safe town. Yet it has some of the most mean, stuck-up, and snobby people you'll ever find. The High School is a small and run by just a few cliques and if you're not in one, prepare to be alone for 4 years. I ended up having to eat my lunch behind the school Junior year so nobody would see me eating alone. The school also has a drug problem which why it is nicknamed "Dirty Irv". Also, the education isn't as good as people think it is. There are some teachers who really try hard but many of them clearly don't. The school is also obsessed with sports since they spend tons of money on new equipment but don't give a penny to music or the arts. (or air conditioners and soap dispensers for that matter) Overall, it's safe and has a cute village, but it's not a friendly place at all.
