As a student of the 2012 class of Irvington High School, it's safe for me to say that there are some good programs but bad tends to outweigh the good. Drive through Irvington and you'll see that we are in a bit of a budget crisis and it deeply affects our school's ability to keep us safe and strong academically.

While some teachers allow this to happen, there are also others who geniunely care for us and won't tolerate passing a student just because they're there. All in all, it may be a little over crowded with kids that are prone to fight, I do believe that Irvington High does it's best to educate us. Read less

I do not believe that the school is as bad as everyone else may think. I attend Irvington Highschool and we are not as wild as people set us out to be, nor is the principle or teachers.
