About Us

Welcome to Irvington Elementary School, the very heart of a unique and historic Northeast Portland neighborhood. Irvington's student body reflects the economic and racial diversity of a thriving urban community. In 2007, Irvington earned a "strong" rating from the Oregon Department of Education's school "report card" system, proving once again that a diverse school can be a high-achieving school. Irvington's success is due to dedicated, experienced staff backed by committed parent volunteers. Its process-oriented teaching methods encourage children to be problem solvers and to embrace life-long learning. At Irvington, the differences among us are celebrated and respected. This two-pronged emphasis on academic achievement and open-mindedness prepares children to succeed both professionally and socially in tomorrow's world.
