Open Quote My little sister goes to Irving Elementary and this school offers various ways of teaching. My sister got accepted into this school, living on the other side of town; because of her advanced learning. They offer Spanish to the students. How this works is a very complex way of teaching. At the beginning of the day, the students who are immune to English learn everything in the morning (in English), and the students who speak Spanish learn everything in Spanish. After lunch they switch rooms and learn what they learned earlier that morning, but in a different language. I would reccomend this school to anyone who is looking for a good school and environment for their daughter/son. Thank you for reading. Rock on Irving!! :) Close Quote

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.
