Summary

Parkway Village Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Memphis, TN, serving 856 students in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. The school has made remarkable progress over the past five years, climbing from the bottom 3% of Tennessee elementary schools (956th out of 983 in 2020-2021) to the 21st percentile (809th out of 1,019 in 2025-2026). This steady upward trajectory is a differentiator in the area — most nearby schools have stagnated or declined over the same period.

Academically, Parkway Village is a mixed performer. It exceeds the district average in mathematics (30.2% vs. 22.1%) and science (35.3% vs. 28.4%), but trails slightly in English Language Arts (23.4% vs. 24.6%). The school's 4th grade is a standout, with 52.3% of students proficient in math — above the state average of 49.4% — along with strong science results. By contrast, 5th grade is a clear area of concern, with only 19.7% proficient in math and 15.0% in ELA. The school also shows particularly strong results with historically underserved students: African American students rank in the 50th percentile statewide, and English Language Learner students in the 62nd percentile.

Parkway Village is the strongest traditional neighborhood elementary school in its immediate cluster. Its closest peer, Willow Oaks Elementary School, has nearly the same overall state rank, but Parkway leads in math and science while Willow Oaks is stronger in literacy. Leadership Preparatory Charter School outperforms Parkway overall, yet has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate (34.3% vs. 24.8%) — Parkway's attendance has improved dramatically and is now below the district average. The school also spends less per student ($14,796) than several nearby schools that perform worse, including Sharpe Elementary School, Sheffield Elementary School, and South Park Elementary School. With math and science scores roughly double what they were three years ago, the key opportunity ahead is replicating 4th-grade success in literacy and 5th grade overall.
