Summary

Parkway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, with 351 students enrolled. The school is part of the Mount Laurel Township School District, which is ranked 375 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkway Elementary has generally performed better than the district and state on NJSLA/PARCC assessments, with 4th graders achieving 58.6% proficiency in ELA and 60% in Math, compared to 51% and 50.4% for the district, and 53.6% and 46.7% for the state. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% to 16.6% in the past year, which is higher than the state average. Parkway has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating solid but not exceptional performance compared to other New Jersey elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Countryside Elementary in the same district performs lower academically, while the high-performing schools in the Moorestown Township Public School District outpace Parkway. The school's statewide rank has declined from the top 30% to the top 47% over the past decade, suggesting a relative decline in performance. Parkway's strong performance for Hispanic students is an area of strength, but the school has struggled with lower rankings for African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students, an issue that warrants further investigation and targeted support.
