- This school was an abysmal failure 15 years ago and from what I am witnessing, nothing has changed in the year 2007. The quality of learning is close to zero. The teachers [rightfully] don't care about the students since most of them are criminals in training. Some are actually FULL BLOWN criminals, drug-dealers, etc.. The I'm not sure if metal detectors were ever installed but they were sorely needed when I was there. Many of the students I knew carried lethal weapons that most police officers didn't have access to at the time.
The violence, especially toward non-black students caused me to drop out of high-school. 15 years later I decided that I would not let this school be the destruction of my life and have since become successful and living completely OUT of the United States altogether. However, I can say that this school almost stole my soul and DID brutally murder a large part of my precious childhood that I will NEVER be able to recover. Stay away from Irvington High and I would venture to say, stay away from IRVINGTON and neighboring towns such as Newark altogether.
DON'T DENY YOUR CHILDREN THE FUTURE THEY DESERVE BY SENDING THEM TO A PLACE WHERE THE ONLY DREAMS THEY CAN HAVE ARE IN THE AREA OF SPORTS. YOUR KIDS DON'T DESERVE THE SESPOOL OF DRUGS, IGNORANCE AND VIOLENCE THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF IHS.
