Parkway Elementary is near Frederick's historic downtown, situated on a hill overlooking picturesque Baker Park. One of the oldest schools in Frederick, Parkway has modern amenities and technological capabilities. Our school has a rich history & tradition of developing model citizens, & we are an integral part of the economically diverse community.

Parkway has adopted the motto, "It takes a whole village to educate a child." Our village has a strong network of supportive and involved parents, community & business partners & a dedicated staff. A variety of community groups use our facility to provide services to students & families. A Partnership with the YMCA provides extended learning opportunities for before- & after- school care. On any given school day, visitors can observe our 'villagers' collaboratively working to accomplish our vision of "every child succeeding."

We are very proud of our students' academic achievements, & we work continuously to add to them. Parkway staff participates in strategic professional development opportunities aligned with special programs and academic interventions to meet the individual needs of students. In addition, our site offers a Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program for students in grades 1-5, & deaf & hard-of-hearing students in Kindergarten attend our collaborative kindergarten classroom.

We have made great strides in developing an environment that fosters character. Our students demonstrate pride in themselves & their school every day.
