Summary

Parkway Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Crowley Independent School District (Isd) serving 423 students in a high-poverty community, where about 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has faced challenges over the past decade, consistently ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools, but it has clear strengths that set it apart from nearby schools.

Parkway’s standout feature is its bilingual program, which significantly outperforms state averages on STAAR Reading tests in Spanish. For example, 47% of 3rd graders were proficient compared to 28% statewide, and 5th graders also beat the state. This success extends to serving Hispanic students, where the school ranks in the 65th percentile statewide—a dramatic contrast to its overall rank. Additionally, 4th-grade math is a bright spot, with 48% of students proficient in 2025-2026, outpacing the district and nearly matching the state average. This math performance even beats nearby Texas School Of The Arts (39% proficient) and is the strongest in the district for that grade. However, the school struggles with science, where only 6% of 5th graders were proficient in English, far below the state average of 30%.

Parkway shows a mixed picture compared to peers. It outperforms Sycamore Elementary (13th percentile) and Meadowcreek Elementary (11th percentile) but lags behind Sidney H Poynter (38th percentile). The school faces critical challenges in serving Special Education and Gifted students, ranking in the 2nd and 4th percentiles respectively, a sharp decline from prior years. While the bilingual program is a model for the district, replicating its success across other subjects and subgroups is key to improving overall performance.
