This school will continue to slide in the rankings until they are able to appoint a tough principal who can keep the teacher body in check and enact change where needed (reward the good teachers and reprimand the under-performing ones with the potential to dismiss those, etc.).

This school is too mired in bureaucracy to focus on the best interest of individual children. If you have a gifted/talented child or one that has other special needs, this may not be the place for you. If you have a middle-of-the-road child that ends up in a class with a good teacher and you do not have to interact with the administration for any reason, this is a fine school.

This school is far too focused on fulfilling state mandates than on actually teaching and nurturing children. If you have a child with special needs or a talented/gifted child, this school is not for you. The special needs program is sorely lacking and there is no gifted program to speak of. If you are happy with your children getting a completely mediocre education and with fighting every year for basic services, you'll be happy here! Every parent I know is supplementing their child's education with tutoring, outside services, etc. That on top of paying tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. It's ridiculous. I'm not sure where the rumor of Irvington having good public schools started. It's a myth.

As noted by "A parent," Ms. Lane is a fantastic teacher. She has always been. Even when she was my teacher close to twenty years ago :). I hated nap time though, I hope they did something about that...

2012-2013/ K /Mrs Lane My son was in Mrs Lane's class and it was the best experience ever. Having little kids means busy all the time but with reminders, emails and most importantly her love for the kids made everything so easy. You are the best!
