of 709 Oregon Elementary Schools

Better than 91% of Oregon elementary schools

Summary

Irvington Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 249 students at 1320 NE Brazee St in Portland's Irvington neighborhood, part of Portland School District 1J. It is the smallest district-run elementary among its nearby peers, yet it currently ranks 62nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 91st percentile, 5 stars, or roughly the top 9% statewide.

Irvington Elementary School has climbed in each of the last five reported years, rising from the 51st percentile in 2017–2018 to the 91st today — a 40-point gain that similarly sized neighbors Sabin Elementary School and Buckman Elementary School have not matched. Achievement sits well above both district and state: 68.9% proficient in English language arts, 61.5% in math and 48.9% in science, against district averages of 57.8/50.5/45.1 and state averages of 43.8/32.9/30.6. Still, it trails the top local cluster — Laurelhurst Elementary School, Alameda Elementary School, Beverly Cleary School and Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School — by roughly 6–18 points in ELA and 9–19 in math, making it the strongest of the second tier rather than a top-tier school.

Several things stand out for families. Low-income students rank 30th of 521 schools — 94th percentile — up from the 19th percentile in 2018–2019, and special education students rank in the 78th percentile. Boys and girls perform at essentially identical levels. Chronic absenteeism is 24.6%, roughly 8–12 points better than district and state in every recent year and far below Boise-Eliot Elementary School's 56.9%. Spending ($23,943 per student) and class size (15.7:1) do not track with results here: the two highest-spending neighbors, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior School and Boise-Eliot, rank 250th and 658th. Two areas are worth watching — science, where Vernon Elementary School matches Irvington's 48.9% despite a much lower ELA score, and grade-level spread, where 4th grade ELA reaches 80.4% while 3rd grade is 59.1%.
