Parker El

Parker EL is a elementary school located in Galveston, TX, serving grades -1–4 and approximately 482 students. Operated by Galveston ISD, the campus sits about 3.2 miles from The Galveston's newsroom and is part of The Galveston's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 40 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 12.1:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Parker EL is a traditional zoned public school within Galveston ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Galveston publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Galveston considering elementary placement, Parker EL is one of the campuses The Galveston regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
