Summary

Irving Elementary School serves 509 students in grades K–5 in Oak Park, Illinois, and is part of Oak Park Education Service District 97. On 2025–2026 state tests, its mathematics proficiency was 65%, compared with 62% in the district and 40% statewide; among nearby schools with reported results, Irving had the highest all-grades mathematics score.

Mathematics is Irving’s clearest strength, while ELA is a relative weakness against its district. In ELA, 70% of students were proficient, above the state’s 56% but below the district’s 76%; Irving ranked second among eight nearby schools with results, whose average was 47%. Grade 5 ELA is a point to watch: Irving’s 65% was below Longfellow Elementary School at 74%, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School at 73%, and Karel Havlicek Elementary School at 67%. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was 7%, compared with 13% in the district and 24% statewide, and Irving had the lowest rate among the nearby schools with current data.

Results remain strong, though both main subjects dipped in the latest year: ELA proficiency fell 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and mathematics fell 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks Irving 317th of 1,737 statewide, at the 82nd percentile with four stars; that is down from the 90th percentile the prior year, but still the highest current percentile among nearby schools with rankings. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 10.9, below the nearby average of 12.5, and 21% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 62% nearby. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show notable differences: its 2024–2025 measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students placed Irving at the 68th percentile, versus the schoolwide 90th; for Special Education Students, the percentile fell from 90 in 2024–2025 to 36 in 2025–2026, a change to read cautiously because the number of schools included also shifted substantially.
