Summary:
Zip code 93235 contains one elementary school, Ivanhoe Elementary, a K-6 school serving 473 students in the Visalia Unified district.
Ivanhoe Elementary is a school on a clear upward trend, having significantly improved its statewide ranking over the past two years. While its overall test scores are below state averages, it performs better in mathematics than other schools in its district. The school shows remarkable strength in the third grade, where students outperform both district and state averages in math. However, performance varies widely by grade, and science scores are particularly low, representing a major area for improvement.
The school serves a high-needs population, with most students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Parents should note the school's substantial per-student funding and its demonstrated capacity for growth, while recognizing the specific academic challenges in science and upper elementary grades that the school is working to address.
