Summary:
The Irvington Public School District in New Jersey contains only one high school, Irvington High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.
Irvington High School has 1,752 students and a four-year graduation rate of 91.3%, with a dropout rate of 1.0%. However, the school's test scores are significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 15.7% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%. The school also has a high percentage of students (60.73%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
With a per-student spending of $11,803, which is below the state average, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, there may be concerns about the allocation of resources and the ability of the school to provide adequate support and attention to its students. Addressing the significant challenges faced by Irvington High School, including consistently low performance, achievement gaps, and high levels of economic disadvantage, will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
