Parkway Elementary

Summary:

Parkway Elementary is a public elementary school in Monahans, Texas, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 642 students. The school is part of the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 655 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkway Elementary faces several challenges, including a higher percentage of Hispanic students (62.93%) compared to the state average, and consistently low academic performance, ranking between 2,642 and 3,050 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner (ELL) students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, with proficiency rates in STAAR tests generally lower than the state and district averages. In contrast, the school's performance is relatively better for Gifted and Talented students.

While Parkway Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $11,221, its performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of funding. Interestingly, Wink Elementary, which is in a different district (Wink-Loving ISD), outperforms Parkway Elementary across most academic measures, despite serving a similar student population. The school's challenges may require further investigation into its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and better support student success.

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.
