My son has attended this school for the past 4 years. He is more than ready to attend a university. He was able to secure up to a million dollars in scholarships and accepted into 15 universities. The school has really made a turn around and the level was raised 3 levels. It is now a commendable school. The principal is great at his job and very approachable. He is always available if needed. I have a deep respect for him. My student had an issue with a staff member and he became depressed and refused to go to school. Mr. Hull spoke to him , and it was like night and day. My son was excited about school and the activities. There are plenty of sports and activities to keep the students active. They have an amazing marching band.

4-10 for the lack of communication and help from my 2nd grade teacher even after asking repetitively

Irving middle school has been the same since i attended back in 2006/2007. Being a single Black mother raising a young black male is very hard especially when you don't have help (male figures). Speaking for all BLACK mothers who send their childre3n to school rather 2 parent household or not we still send our children to school in hopes that they will be protected, educated, properly guided, and heard! Irving has failed to do that with me and now yet again 16 years later with my son. My son is an honor roll student, basketball player, and is apart of district 89 activities and community and yet they failed to protect him! The principle couldn't even tell you my son's name out of a line up and i am not ok with that. My son has been picked on and unfairly disciplined to the point i removed him today! Would I recommend Irving Middle School of Maywood? If you want your child in an environment where he/she can focus on education/ thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually then NO i do not recommend because Irving is the exact opposite. Signed a furious loving/advocating Black Mother!
