Parkway Elementary School

Summary:

Parkway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 398 students in grades PK-4 in Rockford, Ohio, which is part of the Parkway Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, with 91.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics compared to the state average of 67.2%. However, Parkway Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.4% in 2019-2020 to 8.7% in 2023-2024, which is still lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Spencerville Elementary and Crestview Elementary both outperform Parkway Elementary on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Additionally, these schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Parkway Elementary. In contrast, Van Wert Elementary School and St. Marys West Intermediate School have lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to Parkway Elementary.

Despite its strong academic performance, Parkway Elementary faces some challenges, such as the increase in chronic absenteeism and the lack of racial diversity in its student population. The school's exceptional performance with gifted and talented students, however, suggests it is effectively meeting the needs of its high-achieving students. Overall, Parkway Elementary School is a strong-performing elementary school, but there are areas for potential improvement that parents may want to consider when evaluating educational options for their children.

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.
