Parkview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Valparaiso, Indiana, serving 225 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Valparaiso Community Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 380 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Parkview Elementary consistently performs above the state average on ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 57.3% in ELA, 70.79% in Math, and 67.86% in Science, compared to the district averages of 60.83%, 65.7%, and 66.09%, respectively. Notably, Parkview's 4th-grade Math proficiency rate of 85.71% was significantly higher than the state average of 49.2%. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2021-2022 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average of 12.8%.

Parkview Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 51.56% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the 25.96% at nearby Memorial Elementary School. The school's per-student spending has increased from $9,558 in 2020-2021 to $12,224 in 2023-2024, indicating a focus on resource allocation. While Parkview's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other high-performing schools in the district, its higher chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges may be areas that require additional attention and targeted interventions.

Dual language immersion school. My 6 year old kids are singing songs in Spanish! They are far above where kindergarteners were when I was in school. Close Quote
