Parkway Elementary

Summary:

Parkway Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving around 430 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Crowley Independent School District, which is ranked 750 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkway Elementary faces significant academic and demographic challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (53.26%) and African American (36.05%) students compared to nearby schools, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 34.21% at Parkway, compared to 37.83% for the Crowley ISD and 48.85% for the state. Parkway Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2709 and 4227 out of around 4,500-4,700 schools over the past decade, placing it in the bottom 40-50% of schools statewide.

The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing relatively better, and African American, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students performing much worse. Additionally, Parkway Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While Parkway's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some nearby schools, such as Sidney H. Poynter and J.A. Hargrave Elementary, also struggle academically and have similar low rankings and test scores, suggesting that the challenges faced by Parkway Elementary may be reflective of broader issues within the Crowley ISD and the local community.

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.
