of 1,039 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Irving Elementary is a PK–5 school in West Allis, Wisconsin, serving about 375 students as part of the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, in a community where roughly 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and per-pupil spending is $18,912.

For 2025–26, Irving Elementary ranks 817th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 21st percentile, with 1 star. That is above its district's overall 7th percentile, but still in the bottom quarter of the state. Irving's history shows a long slide: it was at the 53rd–62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2015–16 and 2016–17, then generally settled into 1 star and the low-to-mid 20s percentile from 2018–19 onward. Compared with nearby schools, Irving sits in the middle-low group. It trails Mitchell Elementary (51st percentile, 3 stars), Hoover Elementary (36), Walker Elementary (33), and Academy of Accelerated Learning (32), but outranks Wilson Elementary (24), Franklin Elementary (19), Fairview Elementary (17), Jefferson Elementary (12), and Alcott Elementary (9).

Irving's clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism has been below both district and state averages in every year shown, including 11.9% in 2024–25 versus 19.5% district and 17.3% state. Academically, English language arts is its stronger area, with grades 3–5 all above the district and grade 5 close to the state. Math and science are the weak spots — grade 4 math was 23.4% proficient against 35.35% district and 52.87% state, and grade 4 science was 29.79%, the lowest among same-district peers. Notably, Irving spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.6) than its same-district neighbors, yet that has not produced top-tier results. For families, attendance and reading are bright spots worth building on, while math and science are areas to ask about directly. For comparison, Orchard Lane Elementary ranks far higher, at the 86th percentile with 4 stars.
