Summary

Irving Elementary School serves 326 students in grades PK–5 as part of Pueblo School District No. 60 in Pueblo, CO, a district ranked in the bottom 12% of Colorado districts. About 85% of Irving students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism stands at 45.4%—well above the state rate of 28.4%.

Despite these challenges, Irving posts some notable academic strengths. Its all-grades math proficiency of 24.0% tops the district average of 18.7%, and it outperforms nearby Belmont Elementary School (14.2%), Park View Elementary School (17.2%), and Bradford Elementary School (20.7%). Fifth-grade science is a standout: 34.1% proficiency, nearly matching the state average of 36.1% and far exceeding the district's 19.9%. This represents dramatic growth from just 7.3% in 2022-23. By 5th grade, Irving students also approach state averages in math (36.4% vs. 39.3%) and ELA (45.5% vs. 49.9%). Additionally, the school earned a 3-star rating for Hispanic students in 2023-24, ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide—stronger than the school's overall standing.

The most pressing concern is early literacy. Only 14.3% of 3rd graders met ELA proficiency, less than half the district rate of 27.3%. Chronic absenteeism is also among the highest in the area—only Park View and Bradford are higher—while nearby Haaff Elementary School (28.1%), Heritage Elementary School (31.6%), and Fountain International Magnet School (14.7%) have far lower rates. The student-teacher ratio also jumped from 13.0 to 16.7, meaning larger class sizes. Still, Irving has climbed from the 1st percentile in 2020-21 to the 26th percentile in 2025-26, showing real progress. With a focus on early literacy and attendance, the school has meaningful momentum to build on.
