Summary

Irene B. West Elementary is a large public K-6 school serving 1,063 students in the Elk Grove Unified district, which has seen a significant shift in its student population, with many more families now qualifying for economic assistance compared to just a few years ago.

Academically, the school's test scores are generally close to the state average but below the district average in core subjects like English, math, and especially science. A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, where the school's rate is higher than both the district and state averages, which can directly impact learning. When compared to nearby schools, Raymond Case Elementary and Foulks Ranch Elementary consistently outperform in both academics and attendance, while others like Herman Leimbach Elementary face greater challenges.

Despite these overall trends, the school has a notable strength: it is exceptionally effective in supporting its English Language Learners. However, performance varies widely across different grade levels and student groups, with some showing much stronger results than others. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, now placing it at the median, suggesting it is navigating complex challenges while working to support its diverse community.
