Summary

Irvington High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 for 2,157 students in the Fremont Unified district, consistently ranking among the top 3% of all California high schools.

The school demonstrates balanced academic excellence, with over 70% of students proficient in English, Math, and Science, performing strongly even when compared to other high-achieving local schools like Mission San Jose High and American High.

What people are saying

by a student
Saturday, August 20, 2022

I went to IHS and then to UC Berkeley and now work in Big Tech. Here are some stats about the school :

Last 5 years, Irvington has sent a whopping 8+ of its class to Berkeley every year on average. Acceptance rates from Irvington high to Berkeley range between 20-25 - meaning almost 1 out of every 4-5 applicants get accepted into the top UC

Another 4 on average go to UCLA and 12 on 5 year average go to UCSD

So total 25 of the class size has offers from UCB, UCLA and UCSD

Irvington high school has relatively small class sizes of less than 600 as of 2021 - this makes it easier to get electives compared to other high schools with larger class sizes

The 5 year of class is using the class size of 600 to compute what percent of class gets admits from which university irrespective of how many are applying

Irvington high has been beating arch rivals Mission San Jose in 2021 and 2020 - two consecutive years as far as Berkeley admissions go

Irvington high sent similar number of kids to Berkeley as Evergreen, Branham and Leigh combined over the last 5 years

Irvington got more admits to Berkeley as Harker + Bellarmine combined over the last 5 years

In 2020, Irvington high got more admits to Berkeley than entire Los Altos school district (Mountain view high and Los Altos high combined)

In 2018, Irvington high got similar admits to Berkeley(57) than entire Los Gatos Saratoga Union high school district (58) (Los Gatos high and Saratoga high combined)

In 2020, Irvington high got more admits to Berkeley than entire Palo Alto unified school district (Palo Alto high and Henry Gunn high combined) Close Quote
