Summary

Parkway Elementary in Longview, TX, is a 1st through 4th grade school within the Pine Tree Independent School District (Isd), serving 674 students and demonstrating a remarkable turnaround from a 1-star rating to a consistent 4-star rating over the last four years. The school has climbed from the 24th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 71st percentile in the most recent data, a sustained improvement that points to effective leadership and systemic changes. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 and a high percentage of students (about 75%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Parkway excels at supporting its economically disadvantaged population, ranking in the 85th percentile for this subgroup.

Parkway’s standout achievement is its exceptional performance with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 95th percentile (5-star rating) in the 2025-2026 school year—a dramatic jump from a 2-star rating just two years prior. The school also shows outstanding growth for its Hispanic students, who surged from the 41st to the 87th percentile over the same period. However, a notable gender gap persists, with female students ranking in the 77th percentile compared to male students at the 63rd percentile, suggesting a need for focused strategies to support male achievement. Additionally, the school struggles with its Multi-racial student population, which consistently ranks in the bottom half of the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Parkway’s most direct peer is Birch Elementary, another 1st-4th grade school in the same district located just 2.2 miles away. Birch consistently outperforms Parkway in overall state ranking (85th vs. 71st percentile) and test scores, but it also has a lower poverty rate (69% vs. 75%), suggesting that Parkway is doing excellent work with a more disadvantaged population. Meanwhile, Hudson Elementary in Longview Independent School District (Isd) is an outlier, ranking in the 100th percentile with near-perfect test scores, but its unique factors make it an unfair comparison for a standard neighborhood school like Parkway.
