Summary

Parmley Elementary is a K-5 school in Willis, TX, serving 631 students within the Willis Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 34th percentile statewide.

Parmley is the second-lowest performing elementary school in its district, significantly trailing nearby Eddie Ruth Lagway Elementary (74th percentile) and W Lloyd Meador Elementary (70th percentile). The school’s biggest challenge is math, especially in upper grades. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency (32%) is 10 points below the district average and 17 points below the state average. In contrast, reading scores are more competitive, with 5th-grade reading (56%) close to the state average (58%). Despite having the highest per-student spending in the district ($9,530) and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (72%), these resources have not translated into strong overall academic results. However, Parmley does show a notable strength: its low-income students perform relatively well, ranking in the 59th percentile statewide—a bright spot that suggests effective support for its largest demographic group.

Compared to its closest neighbor, C C Hardy Elementary (just 0.38 miles away), Parmley performs significantly better. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, but Parmley ranks in the 48th percentile while Hardy ranks in the bottom 7th percentile, showing that a high-need environment does not predetermine outcomes. Still, the school struggles with inconsistent performance across student groups, including special education and male students, which can swing dramatically from year to year. For parents, the key takeaway is that Parmley is a middle-of-the-pack school with a clear math weakness, but it offers strong reading instruction and effective support for economically disadvantaged students.
