Summary

Parkway School is a K–5 elementary school in Greenwich, CT, serving 249 students in the highly rated Greenwich School District, which ranks 14th out of 153 districts in Connecticut. Parkway itself ranks 13th out of 491 elementary schools statewide — the 97th percentile with a 5-star rating — and has climbed steadily from 84th place in 2015–16 to 47th in 2021–22 to its current elite standing. The school combines a small student body with low poverty rates (4.4% free/reduced lunch), very low chronic absenteeism of 5.1%, a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 10.8, and roughly $25,600 in per-pupil spending.

English Language Arts is Parkway's standout subject. Proficiency rates reach 91.7% in 3rd grade and 90.0% in 4th grade, roughly 40 points above state averages. Math is also strong — 95.1% proficiency in 3rd grade — though 5th-grade math dipped to 76.5% in 2025–26, slightly below the district average and behind North Mianus School (92.4%) and International School At Dundee (86.5%). Science proficiency is strong at 84.3%, trailing only North Mianus among nearby schools. Within Greenwich, Parkway ranks third among elementary schools, behind North Mianus and North Street School, and well ahead of Cos Cob School, Glenville School, and Julian Curtiss School.

Attendance at Parkway is excellent, with just 5.1% of students chronically absent versus 16.4% statewide. The contrast with nearby Stamford School District schools is stark — Northeast School and Roxbury School rank in the low 300s statewide with ELA proficiency less than half of Parkway's. The main areas to watch are 5th-grade math, which dipped below the district average, and performance for specific student groups, which is strong (4-star) but slightly below the school's overall 97th-percentile ranking. Overall, Parkway is a consistently high-performing, well-resourced school in one of Connecticut's highest-achieving districts.
