Summary:
The Irving Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 23 elementary schools serving grades PK-5, with student enrollment ranging from 280 to 938 students. The district as a whole is ranked 797 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the district, including Gilbert F.M. Elementary, which has the highest statewide ranking among the 23 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Elliott Elementary has seen significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 3,200 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022 to 2,110 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023, earning a 3-star rating. John W. and Margie Stipes Elementary has also shown steady improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The district faces significant challenges, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.58% to 94.82%. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Performance on the STAAR reading, math, and science tests varies widely across the schools, with some schools struggling to have even 25% of students proficient in certain grade levels and subjects. The data suggests a need for the district to implement targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its lowest-performing schools and student populations.
