Magnolia Parkway Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.13% White, 43.04% Hispanic, 2.84% African American, 0.64% Asian, and 2.84% two or more races. The school consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests in reading and math, with 56.41% of 3rd graders and 67.95% of 4th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 50.66%.

When compared to other top-performing schools in the area, such as Cedric C Smith, Bear Branch Elementary, and several Conroe ISD schools, Magnolia Parkway may need to continue improving to keep pace with the highest-ranked schools in the region.

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.
