Summary

Parmer Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 449 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (ISD). The school has shown strong academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 766 to 2320 out of over 4,000 Texas elementary schools. Parmer Lane's performance on STAAR tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in reading, where the school's 3rd-grade proficiency is projected to be 63.33% compared to 57.59% for Pflugerville ISD and 52.02% for the state.

While Parmer Lane Elementary has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (73.72%), the school's student population is diverse, with significant percentages of Hispanic (40.8%), White (33.4%), and Asian (13.8%) students. The school spends more per student ($12,557 in 2020-2021) compared to the district and state averages and has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic success. Parmer Lane generally outperforms the other Pflugerville ISD elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Copperfield Elementary, Northwest Elementary, and River Oaks Elementary, on STAAR test scores and statewide rankings.

However, Summitt Elementary, an Austin ISD school located about 1.66 miles away, consistently outperforms Parmer Lane Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking. Additionally, while Parmer Lane has shown strong performance for its African American and White student subgroups, its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups have struggled at times, with lower rankings and ratings.
