Irvington Community Elementary School (ICES) offers a rigorous academic program with a focus on individual results and achievement.
Assessment tools are used to drive instruction and target individual student needs through differentiated instruction, small group instruction, pull-out services (involving small group work with instructional assistants, instructional coaches, and/or special education instructors), and after-school tutoring and enrichment sessions.
