It is located in an agricultural community.  Ivanhoe School enrolls approximately 615 students plus 58 preschoolers. Ethnicities include: 90% Hispanic, 9% White, and 1% Other. 95% of students qualify for free and reduced lunches, and 60% of the students are classified as English Learners. Ivanhoe is one of 38 schools in Visalia Unified School District. Its staff is composed of 32 certificated and 23 classified staff.

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to ensuring the academic success of every student and providing a safe and productive learning experience. The school holds high expectations for the academic and social development of all students. Curriculum planning, staff development, and assessment activities are focused on assisting students in mastering the state academic content standards, as well as increasing the overall student achievement of all subgroups.

Measure E made possible upgrades to the school playground, including new equipment and improved accessibility.

The solar panels on campus are now complete. This is one of 12 schools in VUSD to receive solar panels, which are expected to save the District an estimated $1.7 million in energy costs. These funds will then be available to support the schools’ other facilities needs.
