Summary

Irvington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 235 students in grades K-5. As part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13 out of 140 districts in the state, Irvington Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking as high as 71 out of 706 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Irvington Elementary's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 72.7% of 3rd graders, 56.4% of 4th graders, and 68.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 56.8% in 2024-2025 is also notably higher than the state average of 30.4%. While the school's performance for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups is not as strong as its overall performance, it is still better than the state averages for those subgroups.

However, Irvington Elementary has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 21.0% to 38.1%, compared to the state average of around 20%. The school spends between $23,997 and $30,326 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 16.5 students per teacher, which is lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school is well-resourced and able to provide a supportive learning environment for its students, but the chronic absenteeism issue may be impacting the school's overall academic performance and should be addressed.
