Parkway Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance across different student subgroups is concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% for female, male, Hispanic, and white students, and particularly low for special education students, ranking in the bottom 10% of schools. Academically, Parkway Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below state and district averages, ranging from 15-35% for 3rd-5th grades, compared to state averages of 43-52%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.2% to 20.2%, which is much higher than the state average.
While the nearby schools, such as Paul Robeson Charter School, Slackwood Elementary, and schools in the Trenton Public School District, also perform poorly compared to the state average, Parkway Elementary School's performance is consistently among the lowest in the region. Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has been unable to significantly improve its performance, suggesting that addressing the underlying issues, such as attendance, family engagement, and resource allocation, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements.
