Irvington Elementary School

Summary:

Irvington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 228 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Irvington Elementary consistently ranks among the top 100-200 elementary schools in Oregon, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages, often exceeding the district averages as well. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.7% of 3rd graders, 55% of 4th graders, and 58.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's performance for female, male, and white students is particularly impressive, with rankings in the top 200 schools in the state. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, is more uneven.

Irvington Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools, such as Sabin Elementary and Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School, which also demonstrate exceptional academic performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.2 to 19.2 over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its strong academic achievement, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

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.
