    "I'm a former student, who was part of the Yalow house. My experience in high, I would have to say it was average. Of course there was some negative energy from people in the school, but there is so much more to this school then what people see: the teachers are dedicated and the afterschool activites are interesting."

    "Wow it hasn't even been a year since I graduated from Washington Irving. things could be better it could feel less like a prison. But the teachers are great especially in the Visual and Performing Ats House. The music teachers are full of energy that can light up a room and the drama teachers well they're dramatic and that person knows who I'm talking about. I made best friends in that school and discovered who i am and got over my fear of lack of confidence. I want to thank Washington Irving for making me, me."

    "I just came here in 9th grade as a freshman for only 2 weeks and I already hate it. the school is over crowded and the students are disrespectful. there is nothing good about it I recommend you a better school"

    "Washington Irving, in my opinion, is a school for students who know how to navigate a large setting. There are many opportunities for students to gain professional knowledge and experience, but they have to be a 'go-getter' to receive the best that Washington Irving offers. The quality of the teachers was topnotch, but again, in a large setting with some behavioral challenges, you have to be proactive. Get to know the teachers, attend meetings, and take advantage of the programs, which are excellent! The school is in a choice location for cultural, artistic, and academic exploration. Just being in New York City is a plus! Learning opportunities abound. Parent involvement is welcome, but more parents need to get involved. My son did well at Irving. He was accepted at NYU, and currently attends Cooper Union."

    "This school is very crowded. the students tend to come from outer lying areas and for whatever reason did not go to their local HS. some students are bright and easy-going. many are troublesome. i would strongly suggest considering other high schools before committing to this one. on a good note, there are numerous after school activities and a lot of very dedicated people work there."
