The Irvine
Unified School District is comprised of a community of learners, committed
to the highest quality educational experience we can envision. IUSD educates a
diverse student population numbering over 24,000 (K-12), in 22 elementary
schools, 5 middle schools, 4 comprehensive high schools, and 1 continuation high
school. The district's strategic plan is driven by our mission of enabling all
students to become contributing members of society, empowered with the skills,
knowledge, and values necessary to meet the challenges of a changing world.
IUSD has nationally recognized schools; student performance well-above state
and national comparisons; and comprehensive programs in academics, the arts, and
athletics. Since becoming a unified district in 1972, Irvine's neighborhood
schools have been a clear reflection of the neighborhoods they serve. Open
enrollment policies, on a space available basis, encourage and support parental
choice. The contributions of creative site-based management teams, talented and
caring teachers, involved parents, and supportive business and community leaders
have, together, made a difference to a district where student achievement is the
priority, where values are an integral part of the curriculum, and where a
strategic plan for the future is in place.
