Summary

Parkway High School is a 9–12 school in Rockford, Ohio, serving 306 students in the Parkway Local district, a community where nearly all students are economically disadvantaged. The school ranks 232nd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (71st percentile, 4 stars), while its district ranks 135th of 773 (83rd percentile). Its average End-of-Course proficiency is 74.6%, well above the state average of about 63.2%, and its graduation rate is 97.7%.

Academically, Parkway High School shines in humanities: American History (97.5%) and English II (83.7%) are regional standouts, trailing only St Henry High School among nearby schools. Math is more uneven. Algebra I is a clear weak spot at 60.6%—below the state (61.6%) and far below the district average of 78.1%. This pattern has persisted for several years. Parkway outperforms St Marys Memorial High School, Van Wert High School, and Celina High School in most subjects, is competitive with Spencerville High School and Crestview High School, but remains below Coldwater High School and St Henry High School.

Non-academic factors matter here. Parkway High School has a 99.02% free/reduced lunch rate, the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools, yet it still outperforms several lower-poverty schools. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern: at 18.2%, it is almost 8 points above the district average and higher than most nearby schools, except Van Wert High School (24.1%) and Celina High School (19.9%). Subgroup data show relative strengths in gifted (84th percentile) and special education (71st percentile in 2024–25), while female (55th) and low-socioeconomic (53rd) subgroups rank below the school’s overall 71st percentile. Graduation rates have improved from 91.9% in 2021–22 to 97.7% in 2025–26.
