Better than 19% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Parkwood Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 561 students at 748 Spicewood Dr in Clarksville, Indiana, part of Greater Clark County Schools, and it currently ranks 821st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (19th percentile, 1 star) — a low rating that has persisted since at least 2015–2016.

Parkwood serves the highest-poverty population among nearby schools: 80.75% of students receive free or reduced lunch, compared with 76.34% at Franklin Square Elementary School, 71.51% at Northaven Elementary School, and just 25.73% at Grant Line Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is 22.5%, better than the district's 27.3% but above the state's 16.7%. Per-student spending is mid-range at $11,265, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.1 is lower than most nearby schools. Test results, however, are near the bottom of the local group: all-grades proficiency is 20.69% in English Language Arts, 25.67% in Math, and 18.89% in Science, all well below district averages. Only Franklin Square Elementary School scores lower in ELA and Math, and only S Ellen Jones Elementary School scores lower in Science. Third-grade results are especially weak: 12.79% in ELA and 14.12% in Math.

There are encouraging signs. Math proficiency has risen from 19.31% in 2022–2023 to 25.67%, and fifth-grade Social Studies has climbed steadily from 13.1% to 34.48%, now above the district average. ELA, though, has slid from 27.47% to 20.69%, and Science remains a major weakness. Notably, Northaven Elementary School serves a similarly high-poverty population yet posts much higher proficiency and far lower absenteeism, while Grant Line Elementary School spends less per student with larger classes but achieves far higher scores — suggesting that school-level practices, curriculum, and leadership matter greatly.
