Summary

Irving Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Pueblo, Colorado, with 291 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges, including high poverty rates and consistently low academic performance compared to state and district averages.

Irving Elementary has had very high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 27.7% to 44.0%, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is also well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.8% of Irving students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.8% statewide, and in math, the proficiency rate was 31%, compared to 35.9% statewide. Additionally, Irving Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.67% to 90.03% in recent years, which is much higher than the surrounding schools.

While Irving Elementary struggles, some nearby schools in the Pueblo School District No. 60, such as Haaff Elementary and Fountain International Magnet School, demonstrate much stronger academic performance. This highlights the potential for improvement at Irving Elementary if the right strategies and resources are implemented. The school's low student-teacher ratio could be an asset if leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.
