Summary:

Washington Irving Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving 766 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edmond School District, which is ranked 82 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Washington Irving Elementary consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools. The school's mathematics scores are particularly strong, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders outperforming the Edmond and state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts scores are more mixed, with 4th graders scoring slightly below the district and state. Compared to nearby schools like Russell Dougherty Elementary and Frontier Elementary, Washington Irving has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of non-White students.

One notable trend at Washington Irving is the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 15.77% in 2021-2022 to 30.94% in 2022-2023. This is higher than some nearby schools like Russell Dougherty Elementary (22.57%) and Frontier Elementary (27.85%), but lower than schools like Sunset Elementary (63.88%) and Scissortail Elementary (56.5%). This increase in socioeconomic diversity presents both challenges and opportunities for the school as it works to support the needs of its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
