As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
