Summary

Parkwood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 390 students in the highly-regarded Shoreline School District, consistently earning strong 4-star ratings and performing well above state averages in English, Math, and Science.

What makes Parkwood stand out is its strong and equitable support for all students. While schools like Meridian Park Elementary School or Highland Terrace Elementary may have higher overall scores, they serve fewer students facing economic challenges. Parkwood achieves its solid academic results while supporting a student population where over 40% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, demonstrating effective support for diverse learners. This is notable when compared to a school like Echo Lake Elementary School, which serves a similar community but has lower academic rankings.

The school also shows efficient use of resources, spending more per student than some district peers but less than nearby schools in the Seattle School District No. 1, such as James Baldwin Elementary School, while maintaining stronger outcomes. Parkwood has maintained its performance level even as economic need has increased in recent years, showing resilience. For families, Parkwood represents a consistently strong, equity-focused choice within a top district.

Although it had great diversity, this school was horrible at handling bullying and teachers were quick to discount students. Close Quote
