Summary

Parkway Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 330 students in the Clarkston School District, showing recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

The school serves a community with significant economic need and performs near the state average in some areas, like Science, while working to improve in English and Math. A key strength is its effectiveness in supporting students from lower-income families, outperforming other local schools like Grantham Elementary and Highland Elementary with similar demographics. However, the data reveals a large and unusual gap in performance between boys and girls, and a critical need to improve 6th-grade Math scores, which are significantly lower than at neighboring Heights Elementary.

Parkway operates efficiently with a higher student-teacher ratio than other district schools, and its positive trajectory in test scores is encouraging. For context, Asotin Elementary in the higher-ranked Asotin-Anatone School District shows stronger overall performance, but also benefits from higher per-student spending and a lower poverty rate. Parkway's recent gains suggest it is building on its core strength of serving all students well, with clear opportunities to address specific grade-level and gender-based challenges.
