Parkwood Elementary School

Summary:

Parkwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warner Robins, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 671 students. The school is part of the Houston County School District, which is ranked 53 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Parkwood Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Houston County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.4% of 3rd graders, 22.4% of 4th graders, and 41.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Houston County averages of 45%, 45.9%, and 61%, respectively. Additionally, Parkwood Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 940 out of 1,248 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 25% of elementary schools in the state.

One potential factor contributing to Parkwood Elementary's lower academic performance may be its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.82% to 83.9% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Eagle Springs Elementary, Quail Run Elementary School, and Shirley Hills Elementary School, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.23% to 84.02%. Despite the challenges, Parkwood Elementary's relatively high per-student spending of around $9,000-$9,800 per year suggests that there may be opportunities to invest in targeted interventions or other strategies to improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
