Parkview Elementary School

Summary:

Parkview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bellingham, Washington, serving 399 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Bellingham School District, Parkview consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic achievement, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Parkview Elementary has maintained a top-third ranking among Washington elementary schools, fluctuating between 179 and 570 out of over 1,100 schools in recent years. The school particularly excels in the Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking 235 and 300 out of Washington schools, respectively. However, the school's performance in the Special Education and Low Socio-Economic Status subgroups is relatively lower, suggesting a need to address achievement gaps. Compared to nearby schools, Silver Beach Elementary outperforms Parkview, while other local schools like Northern Heights Elementary and Lowell Elementary lag behind.

The consistent academic success of Parkview Elementary, coupled with its fluctuating statewide ranking and performance disparities among student subgroups, suggest that the school has effective teaching practices and support systems in place, but may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of underperforming student populations to ensure equitable educational outcomes for all.

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.
