Fabulous community of carrying professionals. excellent academic instruction and extra curricular activities. Have found that the staff of IRHS are open and available to the needs of the student, the family and the community. The principal is a fine man and runs his school with all the care and security a partent could want.

I think this school needs some major funding so that we can actually get into the new school on time and so that we can get some new equiptment! In other words, I think this school needs major help!

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Delaware used the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP) to test students in reading and math in grades 2 through 10, in writing in grades 3 through 10, and in science and social studies in grades 4, 6, 8 and 11. The scores for social studies in grades 4 and 6 are not shown on GreatSchools profiles. The DSTP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Delaware. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
