Irvington High School has built a reputation that reflects dysfunction more than discipline. Instead of feeling like a place of opportunity, the school often feels like a controlled facility where students are watched more than they are supported. The heavy security presence and strict policies crea
Posted by a student on 2/25/2026Horrible place. The kids fight every single day in the halls. They are never in class, students go as far as to hide in bathrooms to not be in class. Inside classrooms kids are yelling, out of their seats, playing music and dancing. The teachers cannot control the students and are constantly getting
Posted by a community member on 3/16/2023There are fights literally everyday. 20% of students do not respect the staff. There are 5 gangs in the school.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI believe that the teachers in this particular school teach effectively. They are knowledgable as well as caring. I have never experience a principle so caring, protective and serious about our children. Please know that this is the type of evidence is being shown to me everyday for 4 years.Parent Review15y ago - Mount Vernon Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently graduated from this school, and my experience was HORRIBLE. I attended that school since Kindergarten, and I always had to deal with rude students, rude teachers, and rude staff. Not to mention, one of the ELA teachers treated me like she had something against me. For example, throughout most of my 8th grade year, she NEVER said my name. I absolutely HATED going here and so will your children. I could go all day talking about how bad this school is. Like oh my GOD, the amount of built up anger I had while walking through those hallways. OH, and there is more! The teachers pick favorites, and they make no effort to hide it. The principal seemed to have something against me as well. There is still so much I could say, I am so glad that I graduated. FINALLY. And the school is dirty! They have rats and roaches!Other Review8mo ago - Ivy Hill Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI want to start off by saying, this school is trying very hard to be the best in their town and that’s the problem they are not thinking outside of the town. If the parents don’t care. Neither will the staff.Parent Review3y ago - Madison Avenue Elementary School
