What is Irvine High School Ranking and ReviewsSchools

Great Schools is a nonprofit organization that gives parents the information they need about schools. As the leading national association, Great Schools has perfected the way they rank schools across the country. By looking at test scores, listening to parents, pulling diversity information, and evaluating the overall environment, Great Schools ratings mean something.

The rankings aren’t just handed out to schools that perform well. Instead, every aspect of a student’s life while at the school is evaluated.

Rating Schools

There are three major categories, each with their own subcategories that are evaluated by Great Schools including academics, equity, and environment. Great Schools looks at test scores, college readiness, and advanced course to get the ranking for academics.

The school has test scores above the state average in every category, science, math, and English. For college readiness, 97% of students from IHS go onto graduate from a 4-year college. There are also a higher number of students in advanced courses.

Great Schools looks for a diverse student base and the test scores they receive for equity. Ethnics students may have a lack of support if the score in diversity is low. Students are scoring high in test scores, with little to no gap between each ethnic group.

Low-income students are also receiving high test scores and even students with disabilities are scoring well above their state average.
