Summary

Irving Elementary serves 447 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Wichita, Kansas. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 27% in English Language Arts (ELA), 14% in math, and 13% in science. The central concern is that results in all three subjects were below both district and state averages, and science was second-lowest among nearby schools serving prekindergarten through grade 5.

ELA is Irving’s strongest subject relative to local and broader benchmarks, while science is its weakest against nearby schools. The ELA rate of 27% was below the Wichita district’s 30% and the state’s 46%; math was 14%, versus 21% districtwide and 41% statewide; science was 13%, compared with 21% and 38%. Among eight nearby schools with the same grade span, averages were 32% in ELA, 22% in math, and 24% in science, putting Irving about 5, 7, and 11 percentage points below them, respectively. Irving ranked fifth of nine in ELA and math, but second-lowest of nine in science.

ELA and math have improved over four years, but the gains have not consistently narrowed the state gap: ELA rose 14 percentage points and its state gap narrowed from 20 to 19 points, while math rose 8 points and its gap widened from 25 to 27 points. Science is 7 points above its 2022–23 result, but has fallen 7 points from its 2023–24 peak. SchoolDigger ranked Irving 624th of 657 statewide, at the 5th percentile with zero stars. Other context includes a 15.4 student–teacher ratio, second-highest among nearby schools, and a 96% free/reduced-lunch rate, third-highest. Chronic absenteeism was 29%, compared with 18% statewide. One notable exception in SchoolDigger’s group rankings is English Language Learners: their statewide percentile was 31, versus 5 overall, though it fell 24 points from the previous year’s 55th percentile.
