Parkview Elementary School

Summary:

Parkview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Valparaiso, Indiana, serving 219 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Valparaiso Community Schools district, which is ranked 14th out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating.

Parkview has a more diverse student population compared to other nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (29.22%) and African American (10.5%) students. However, the school's test scores, while generally above the state average, tend to lag behind the other high-performing schools in the Valparaiso district, such as Central Elementary, Memorial Elementary, and Heavilin Elementary. Parkview also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (6.9%) and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.32%) compared to other schools in the district.

Despite these challenges, Parkview's overall ranking and rating within the state of Indiana (4 out of 5 stars) suggest that it is still a strong and well-performing elementary school. The school's racial diversity could be an asset that it can leverage to provide a more inclusive and enriching educational experience for its students. However, the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address the areas where it lags behind the other high-performing schools in the Valparaiso district.

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.
