Summary

Magnolia Parkway Elementary is a PK-4 school in Magnolia, TX, serving 680 students within the Magnolia Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. The school has a history of solid academic performance, consistently earning 3 or 4 stars over the past decade, with a recent ranking in the 80th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school truly shines in its support for specific groups of students. It ranks in the 98th percentile for its Gifted and Talented program, a standout feature that far exceeds nearby schools. Additionally, it excels with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 82nd percentile for this group—a remarkable recovery from a dip the previous year. This ability to achieve strong outcomes with its economically disadvantaged population is a key differentiator. The school also shows a positive trend for its Special Education students, jumping to the 79th percentile. However, a significant challenge remains with English Language Learners, who ranked in the 9th percentile, an area where a nearby school like Cedric C Smith appears to have a more robust program. The school’s relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.7 likely contributes to its ability to provide targeted support.

While Magnolia Parkway is a strong performer, it operates within a highly competitive cluster of elementary schools. Its test scores are generally above state and district averages, but it is not the top-tier outlier like Bear Branch Elementary or Buckalew Elementary, which demonstrate remarkable year-over-year stability. The school’s recent history shows a pattern of strong performance punctuated by a notable dip in 2024-2025, followed by a strong rebound, suggesting resilience. To reach the next level of performance and match the consistency of its top-tier neighbors, the school must address the significant challenges faced by its English Language Learner population.

MPES has lots of programs other magnolia schools don't offer, as well as friendly staff and new principal. We love it here. Very Christian oriented also. Close Quote
