Summary

Parkview Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Bedford, Indiana, serving 528 students as part of North Lawrence Com Schools. It is the largest elementary in its nearby comparison group, yet its results now stand well above its district context.

In 2025–2026, Parkview ranked 177th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. Its district is mid-ranked statewide: 178th of 374 districts, 52nd percentile, 3 stars. The school has improved over time, moving from 2 stars and around the 41st–47th percentile in the mid-2010s to 3 stars in most years from 2018–2023, then to 4 stars and 72nd–83rd percentile in 2023–2024 through 2025–2026. That makes it the strongest listed nearby elementary on overall SchoolDigger rank. The next closest nearby school is Lakeview Elementary School at 225/1,015, 78th percentile. Same-district peers are lower: Needmore Elementary School 57th, Shawswick Elementary School 31st, Dollens Elementary 36th, and Lincoln Elementary School 36th; Springville Community Academy is 53rd, and Lawrence County Independent Schools is 37th.

Math and science are standout strengths. In 2025–2026, Parkview’s All Grades ILEARN proficiency was ELA 48.3%, Math 63.5%, Science 61.94%, and 5th-grade Social Studies 64.06%; the district’s rates were ELA 33.29%, Math 40.76%, Science 45.45%, and Social Studies 34.8%. Parkview leads listed nearby schools in Math and Science, while Lakeview’s ELA is higher at 53.15% and Springville’s 5th-grade Social Studies is higher at 80.95%. ELA is solid but less dominant; 5th-grade ELA is 42.19%, essentially the state average of 42.2%. Chronic absenteeism fell from 20.8% in 2020–2021 to 15.6% in 2024–2025—below the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 12.0% and above same-district peers. With 71.21% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, $12,312 per-student spending in 2023–2024, and a 12.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, Parkview produces strong outcomes without unusually high resources. The main relative challenges are ELA, especially 5th grade, and absenteeism above the district average.
