Summary

Parkway Elementary is a public K–6 school in Clarkston, Washington, serving about 330 students in the Clarkston School District near several other neighborhood elementary schools. Parkway ranks in the 38th percentile statewide, placing it in the middle range among Washington elementary schools. Its 2025–2026 rating is two stars. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 63.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. That share is lower than at nearby Grantham Elementary and Highland Elementary, but higher than at Heights Elementary and Asotin Elementary.

Parkway compares favorably with most nearby Clarkston schools. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 46.74% in English language arts, 43.89% in math, and 39.53% in science. It ranked ahead of Highland and Grantham in all three subjects and was nearly tied with Heights in math. Math is Parkway’s clearest strength: its overall result was above both the district and Washington averages, driven partly by an impressive third-grade rate of 70.73%. Third-grade ELA was also strong at 65.85%. Parkway has improved from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th percentile currently, although it remains below the statewide midpoint.

The biggest concern is the drop in achievement during the upper elementary grades. Math declined from 70.73% in third grade to 24.49% in sixth grade, while ELA fell from 65.85% to 34.62%. Science is another priority: Parkway’s 39.53% proficiency was below district and state levels and down from 50% the previous year. Heights Elementary offers a useful local benchmark, with much stronger sixth-grade ELA and math results, while Asotin Elementary posted higher results overall in a different district. Parkway’s higher student-teacher ratio—18.8 compared with 16.6 at Heights—may be relevant when considering individualized support, though the data do not establish cause and effect. Overall, Parkway shows promising early-grade and math performance, with grades 5–6 and science deserving the closest attention.
