IRE is the best school we could have ever hoped for. Our child has ADHD and High Functioning Autism and the Intervention team is beyond amazing.

Very diverse, caring teachers, challenging work that emphasizes critical thinking. Culture of the school teaches acceptance of differences and kindness. Best school I've ever seen.

We love IRE, nothing but great experiences! My daughter is going in to 3rd grade and we have loved every teacher we've had, and love The principal and all the other staff that we have encountered!

Both of my kids went here kindergarten through fifth grade. We have had so many amazing teachers - Mr. Crandall, Mrs. Siers, Mrs. Guehl, etc. The principal, guidance counsellor, and the rest of the staff are all very caring and involved. Over the years we have had a couple issues with bullying (one on the bus, one on the playground), and when I brought it to the staff's attention it was addressed and stopped immediately. They did a great job of preparing my kids for middle school. I highly recommend this elementary school.

I am a former IRE parent who had the unfortunate experience of having a child there at that time. Negatives for us were: lack of individual attention, bullying, disruptive special needs kids in regular classes, and behavioral problems of some of the students. I also found out that the bus driver had been late on multiple times over the course of the year and the school was slow to rectify this issue. The curriculum at the time was the old math program which was changed due to parental complaints, so I hope their new one is better. My daughter was a top student but could not subtract at the end of second grade. Dublin City Schools are so concerned with test scores that they spent months sending home worksheets on how to fill out bubbles so the kids would score high on the standardized tests (so IRE can catch up with the "better" schools like Pinney and Bailey where everyone wants to transfer to!). So, at the end of the year, parents got a packet explaining that we should review the material over the summer because there wasn't time to get to it during the year because of test prep. Overcrowded, curriculum is not challenging, not as diverse as people brag about either.

This is a fantastic school in Dublin. The school is so diverse which is one of the reasons we like it! Mrs. Rinefierd is so approachable and she seems to know every student. She is also very involved in the kids activities which we as parents appreciate. The academics are Dublin standards and I do feel that my child is getting challenged. We've been part of the IRE community for 3 years and we have nothing other than praise for this school!
