Parmley Elementary

Summary:

Parmley Elementary is a public elementary school in Willis, Texas, serving 625 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Willis Independent School District (ISD), which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parmley Elementary faces several academic challenges. Its STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White, special education, and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing poorly compared to their peers. However, the school's low-income and gifted and talented students perform relatively better. Parmley Elementary's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are similar to the district's averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Parmley Elementary's performance is generally lower than other Willis ISD schools, such as Eddie Ruth Lagway Elementary and W. Lloyd Meador Elementary. However, it performs better than some schools in the neighboring Conroe ISD, such as C.C. Hardy Elementary and Houston Elementary. The high percentage of low-income students at Parmley Elementary may contribute to its academic struggles, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in student achievement.

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.
