Irving High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2009-09-02 “I am a freshman and i already love this school!!!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2009-02-08 “I am a current student at Irving High School, and this school could be much better, the teachers here could honestly care less unless you are in an honors class or AP classes. This school is so concerned with sports that most of the fine arts departments are overlooked, something is always broken in this school and the prinicpals are always on everyones case on unimportant things instead of trying to deal with bigger problems. I would say that there is a lot of issues that this school needs to resolve and if I could go to another high school I would.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-29 “Irving High is the best possible place for my son. He is exposed to diversity, great teachers, superior academics, and traditional school spirit. He will be ready for the world as it really is.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2007-09-03 “I'm a student in Irving High School and I have to say that the school is going terribly downhill. I might sound like a student that just wants to bash her school, but I actually am interested in learning, and Irving High isn't the best place. There's no interest in academics in Irving High, only sports. The fine arts department and other electives get no attention on a school that only worries about athleticism. Teachers there are great, but sadly only Pre-AP and AP classes are worthwhile since regular classes feel like a prison. There's also a lot of gang issues going on between the students, and there's no discipline in the school. Because of the gang problems, the students that value their education are being treated like delinquents. There's much room for improvement in this school, and it would be better if those in charge actually took action.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-06-26 “As a minority parent of IHS students, I am disappointed with several aspects of the school, including overall teacher quality, low parental involvement and lack of diversity. I am a very involved parent and have encouraged others to be involved as well, only to be slighted by some teachers/coaches who think I or others should not be as involved, and slighted by some parents who feel control should be maintained by a select few.There are a handful of wonderful teachers here but the overall teacher quality needs improvement.I have regretted enrolling my children at IHS, but have encouraged them to take advantage of every opportunity that exists there. And if it does not exist, create one! If IHS is to be the quality school that it once was, change is evident and necessary. Encourage more consistent parental involvement, improve teacher quality, and show the diversity of the student body!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-05-08 “My son has attended Irving High School almost two years now and I regret ever enrolling him. In the Fall, he will go to live with his father and attend JJ Pierce in Richardson (a recognized TAKS school). The amount of petty crime and violence has increased significantly in the past two years. There is no 'real world' prep for college at Irving High.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-03-24 “As with most schools, you get out what you put in. If you work hard, not only in your work, but in finding the best teachers, you'll have a good experience. I only encountered one teacher that I felt didn't know the subject matter that well and I believe she's now retired. Parents were involved but not intrusive for the most part. I never felt like the parents were running the school. As a student, you've got pretty much every extracurricular activity available. Weaknesses: English program is very structured and they got rid of the creative English class in my Sophomore year, a big disappointment. Laptop for every child liable to cause lots of distractions and take emphasis off of the really important material. It's good to learn how to look something up, but much better to already know it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-02-07 “My two sons attend Irving High and they love it! The pride at Irving High is extremly high and they have reason for it. It's really a great school.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-02-01 “I am a parent. However, my children do not attend the school. I was a student there from 1993-1997. It was the best school. They had very caring and highly intellegant staff, the extra curricular activities kept me busy & I was just overall satisfied with the school in general. We no longer live in the DFW area. However, if we move back by the time my 10yr old daughter and 2 & 1/2 yr old son get to high school, they will for sure be attending Irving High if it upholds the excellence when I attended!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-12-15 “I am a parent at Irving High School and I couldn't be more proud of where my son goes to school. This perhaps the best high school that my son could have ever gone to. Every student has their own laptop to use during the school year! School pride is overflowing from this school! We are also Region Champs in Football in the 2003 season!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-26 “I had two sons attend this school and felt they received the help needed when asked and disciplinary action was adequate. There are a variety of special activities for students to get involved in and advanced classes for the advanced level students to attend. The teachers and staff were wonderful. My sons have since graduated and are still proud of attending Irving High.”
