This is an excellent school that truly helps to prepare kids to tackle college and life beyond high school. My kids have enjoyed the 4 years they spent there.

I transfered to JICHS my senior year and read more books in that one year than all the other years of schooling combined. And that was just English Class. I loved the environment and teachers. It prepared me for college.

You have the right to have your opinion about a school, but please make sure you are clearly informed before you speak out. My kids have been going to this school for years and they have excellent teaching and if you don't care about academics and don't want to be a positive influence in your kids life then maybe this school is not for you. James Irwin has had to come over some obstacles, but this school does not favor or leave out any children. My girls have disabilities and they have learned to over come them and not use it as an excuse. Don't let your kids suffer on education because of your uninformative ways. I seen in one review that a parent had bad things to say, well don't believe them because it not only takes the teachers to make a school work it takes the parents too.

I currently attend this school,and have attended other public schools.In 2006,its a school that helps students excel,independent and not.We have AP art classes,and multiple sports,If the sport we don't like is not offered,we are allowed to play for the local public ones. The teachers thoroughly know what they are talking about,are always available for questions and its actually fun.The only downfall what so ever is the dress code.James Irwin is teaching us to be great independent,responsible citizens,and equipping us with boundless knowledge.There are special accommodations for those who excel,in any subject.If you want your kids to have a great education,please check out this school.James Irwin has helped me get ready for the world with smarts & common sense.This is a school that lives by their mottos of integrity,honesty respect,responsibility and of course excellence.Ilove this school dearly, and couldn't ask for a better one.

This school would have greater impact if the numbers and stats were less important than the person. If you have no concern about your child being treated like an individual this is a great school. If your child's individuality and feelings are important, this is a school to avoid. Only the compliant child will be happy here. The child who is confident and independent will be tamed or eliminated.
