Parkway Elementary

Parkway Elementary sits in the southern Sacramento zip code of 95823, a working-class neighborhood that's home to a tight-knit, culturally diverse community — predominantly Latino and Southeast Asian families who bring a real sense of pride and roots to the area. The school faces some meaningful academic challenges, with test scores that reflect the broader struggles common to under-resourced urban schools, though its science program shows some relative bright spots worth noting. Families drawn to community schools where staff often go the extra mile to connect with families across language and cultural barriers may find Parkway to be a place where relationships matter just as much as report cards.
