Ironwood has one high school, Luther L. Wright High School, informally known as Ironwood High School. Their mascot is the "Red Devils," a common description of the iron ore miners that would get covered with red dust from the iron ore.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ironwood.k12.mi.us/|title=Ironwood Area School District - Ironwood, MI|work=ironwood.k12.mi.us}}</ref>  Luther L. Wright enjoys a rivalry with neighboring [[Hurley, Wisconsin|Hurley]] High.  It is one of the longest-running interstate rivalries in American high school sports.

Ironwood was the home of the last parochial high school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Ironwood Catholic High School (formerly St. Ambrose School) closed after graduation of the senior class in 1985. Sister [[Mary Aquinas Kinskey]] taught aerodynamics and meteorology there before teaching aviation and aeronautics at Catholic University, her alma mater, to members of the United States Armed Forces.<ref>[[Mary Aquinas Kinskey]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=October 2017}}

The school's mascot was the ram, with the players known as the "Ramblers". The student yearbook was known as the "Loner" in recognition of its status as the last parochial school in this part of the state.

Ironwood is also the location of [[Gogebic Community College]].
