Original Research by School Decision on Irvington Elem School
Irvington Elementary School is a very small rural K-8 school serving a declining village in southern Illinois. The school enrolls a modest student population across all grades from pre-K through eighth grade, with the majority of students identifying as white and the student body drawn almost entirely from the immediate local area. The village itself has been shrinking steadily over recent decades and is expected to continue that decline.
State testing data for the school is sparse and mixed. The most recent results show proficiency rates that are low: in grade five mathematics, no students scored at proficient levels, while grade five English language arts saw about half of students proficient. Grade five science showed proficiency in the low-to-mid range. For most other tested grades and subjects, results were either not available or not reported. The school's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint among the six districts in Washington County, suggesting academic performance trails its rural neighbors in the area.
A parent may want to look into further detail with the school about what academic support and intervention strategies are in place for students who are not meeting proficiency benchmarks, given the current test results. The school has no separate data on free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, or English learner population, so the economic or demographic composition of need within the school is not visible from the available records.
The school sits at an address on Superior Street within Irvington village itself rather than on a removed campus, keeping it integrated into the small residential community. Civic infrastructure in the village is minimal; the school is one of only a few anchoring institutions in the area alongside village government and a bank branch. No information was available about specific programs, course offerings, extracurricular activities, or staffing models at the school, so a prospective parent would need to reach out directly to learn how the school organizes instruction or what student enrichment and support services it provides. The school is not a charter, magnet, or Title I designated school, and operates as a regular public school within its district.
