[edit] 2007-2008 school year
The Irvington Board of Education places a lot of emphasis on the 2007-2008 academic year. This year appears to be the last year in which 12th grade students will be eligible for the Special Review Assessment (SRA) program, and also host the last senior class to have taken the High School Proficiency Assessment as 11th grade students.
