Irving Elementary

Summary:

Irving Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cleburne, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 521. The school is part of the Cleburne Independent School District, which is ranked 693 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Irving Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 46.77% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 38.22% for Cleburne ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5. Additionally, Irving Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.73% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Cleburne ISD, such as Gerard Elementary, Adams Elementary, Coleman Elementary, Marti Elementary, and Cooke Elementary, generally perform better than Irving Elementary on academic measures. For instance, Gerard Elementary ranked 1,436 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024, with 52.34% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to Irving Elementary's 46.77%. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

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.
