Summary

Irving Elementary in Cleburne, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 405 students within the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty community. Despite spending slightly more per student ($11,485) than many district peers, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20th percentile statewide over the past decade, with the most recent data showing a sharp decline to the 19th percentile (1 star). This performance is notably lower than nearby schools like Gerard Elementary (82nd percentile) and Cooke Elementary (62nd percentile), both of which serve similar or higher poverty rates but achieve significantly better results.

The most critical academic weakness is in Mathematics, where only 23.88% of 3rd graders and 29.51% of 4th graders were proficient in the latest year—roughly 15-20 percentage points below the district and state averages. This contrasts sharply with Gerard Elementary, where over 56% of 3rd graders and 59% of 4th graders were proficient in Math. The school also struggles to support specific student groups, ranking in the bottom 10th percentile for English Language Learners and the 7th percentile for Special Education students. While there was a brief period of improvement in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, the gains were not sustained, and the school has regressed significantly.

Interestingly, Cooke Elementary, located just 1.92 miles away, serves an even higher percentage of low-income students (84.83%) but ranks in the 62nd percentile, outperforming Irving in nearly every subject. This suggests that poverty alone does not determine success and that instructional strategies or resource allocation may need re-evaluation. A bright spot was seen in 4th grade Reading during the 2024-2025 school year, where 50% of students were proficient—higher than the district average—but this success was not repeated the following year. For parents, these insights highlight a school with significant challenges, particularly in Math and for vulnerable student populations, but also show that nearby schools with similar demographics are achieving much better outcomes.
