Summary

Parkwood Elementary School serves 342 students in grades K–6 in Hanover Park, within School District U-46. In 2025–2026, 35% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 32% in math, and 36% in fifth-grade science. The clearest concern is ELA: Parkwood had the lowest all-grades result among the 10 nearby schools with reported scores, and its rate was below the state, district, and nearby-school average.

Parkwood’s results vary by subject and grade. Its overall math rate was 32%—about level with the district’s 32%, but below the state’s 40% and the nearby-school average of 40%. Within math, grade 4 was a standout: 56% proficiency was higher than every reported nearby result and above the district’s 33% and state’s 42%. Grade 3 math was much weaker at 28%, the lowest reported nearby result for that grade. Science proficiency was 36%, below the nearby-school average of 41%. In ELA, the overall result of 35% was 21 percentage points below the state and 11 points below the district.

Scores improved over the three years through 2024–2025, then fell in the latest year: ELA rose from 26% to 37% before dipping to 35%, while math went from 25% to 34% and then 32%. Over that period, Parkwood did not keep pace with state gains, and its statewide SchoolDigger ranking fell from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 23rd percentile and one star in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s rankings suggest stronger results in serving English Language Learner Students: the group ranked at the 56th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 38th percentile. Parkwood’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.3, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; the latter was higher than the rates at the seven nearby schools with comparable figures.
