As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I used to be a student at Austin prarkway elementary and it was great, now thr school is a prison. So many fun activity’s have been taken away due to angry parents. You cat even play tag or run during recess. Close Quote

Open Quote We moved from NY state to TX this past year. We were originally zoned for Commonwealth Elementary and were diverted to Austin Parkway. Commonwealth was capped off. We could not be happier with the level of education our daughter has received. She began APE in the 4th grade. The principal Mrs. Whisonant, school counselor Mrs. Prine, assistant principal Ms. Dickey, 4th grade teachers Ms. Cervantes and Ms. Grove as well as countless other staff has been warm, approachable, accessible and most importantly delivering the highest standards of education. My child could not be happier with her new school and I as a parent could not feel anymore joyful having my daughter attend APE. APE is an environment that is welcoming, warm and very supportive to both their students and their parents.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
