Parkway School

Summary:

Parkway School is an exceptional elementary school located in Greenwich, Connecticut, serving 243 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outstanding academic performance that far exceeds state and district averages.

Parkway School's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 76.5% of 3rd-grade students, 81.8% of 4th-grade students, and 87.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 45.9%, 49.4%, and 51.4%, respectively. This consistent high performance has earned the school a statewide ranking of 25 out of 497 schools. However, the school's student population is less diverse than nearby schools in the Greenwich School District, with a higher percentage of White students (79.84%) compared to schools like Cos Cob School (66.17% White) and International School At Dundee (46.92% White).

Another notable aspect of Parkway School is its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (3.29%), which is significantly lower than the nearby Stamford School District schools and even other Greenwich schools like Julian Curtiss School (41.08%). Additionally, Parkway School has a low student-teacher ratio of 10 students per teacher, which may contribute to its academic success. As the school district and community continue to evolve, it will be important to address the issues of racial and socioeconomic diversity to ensure that all students have access to the high-quality education that Parkway School is known for.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
