Summary

Parkway Elementary School in Rockford, OH is a PK–4 school serving 389 students in the Parkway Local district, with the nearest comparable elementary schools roughly 10–17 miles away in other districts. In 2025-26 it ranked 253rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 84th percentile, or top 16% statewide — earning 4 stars, while the Parkway Local district ranked 135th of 773 districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars). Parkway has been a consistent 4-star school in recent years: after a dip to the 66th percentile in 2021-22, it climbed back into the mid-80s in 2024-25 and 2025-26.

Test scores are above the Ohio average in all four tested subjects (grades 3 and 4). The standout is 4th grade math, where 94.6% of students were proficient versus 67.3% statewide — 27.3 points higher, and second among nearby schools only to Spencerville Elementary School at 96.8%. Parkway also leads nearby schools in 3rd grade math at 79.0%. In English language arts, Parkway’s scores are solidly above state averages, but Spencerville Elementary and Coldwater Elementary School score higher at both tested grades, so ELA is the clearer relative opportunity. Parkway ranks ahead of Celina Elementary School, St Marys West Intermediate School, and Van Wert Elementary School overall.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 4.1% in 2025-26, well below the district’s 10.4% and lower than most nearby schools, and down from 8.7% in 2023-24. The school’s low-income (low-SES) students ranked in the 96th percentile statewide with 5 stars — 60th of 1,467 schools, above the school’s overall standing — which suggests particularly effective support for those students. Parkway’s 2024-25 student-teacher ratio was 18:1, higher than several nearby schools, yet outcomes remain strong, and its 2018-19 per-student spending was mid-pack. Note that free/reduced lunch data is not available for Parkway, and some subgroup figures date back to 2017-18.
