Irvine Unified School District is a school district in Orange County, California, United States, that serves the city of Irvine. Established on June 6, 1972, IUSD serves approximately 30,000 K-12 students at twenty-two elementary schools, six middle schools, five comprehensive high schools and one continuation high school.[2]

Irvine has been frequently recognized among the top school systems in California and the United States. On the state’s latest Academic Performance Index, which measures overall achievement on a scale of 200 to 1,000, IUSD posted a districtwide score of 921, marking a five-point increase over the previous year.
