Welcome New Families!
Irvington Elementary School is a small neighborhood school located in the heart of Northeast Portland’s Historic Irvington District. We are a diverse, tightly-knit community of over 225 elementary school kids and families. At least 4 languages are spoken at Irvington. 33 percent of us are students of color and 19 percent have Special Education (students who have Individual Education Plans (IEP). Each of us is an essential part of the Irvington School family.
And you can be too!
