Elementary Schools in Irvington Public School District

Summary:

The Irvington Public School District in New Jersey is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance levels across these schools, with a few standouts and several facing academic challenges.

Chancellor Avenue Elementary School and University Elementary School are the top-performing elementary schools in the district, ranking 1144 and 1142 respectively out of 1338 New Jersey elementary schools. These schools outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Florence Avenue Elementary, Madison Avenue, and Grove Street Elementary struggled to meet state standards.

Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates, low proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high free and reduced lunch rates, suggest the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to support the educational needs of all students in the Irvington Public School District.
