Located in the heart of Westbury, Parker Elementary School is one of the newest and largest elementary campuses in the neighborhood. With experienced teachers and an acclaimed music magnet program, this Houston Independent School District campus is a top-rated school for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students.
Once housed in a building dating back to 1959, Parker Elementary now boasts a modern building and stage fit for its more than 800 students thanks to a Houston Independent School District (HISD) building program.
Parker’s new 500-seat auditorium is perfect for showcasing the students’ fine arts talents including band, chorus, guitar, piano and strings; in fact, the campus has been recognized across the state and country for its musical talent, performing at professional sporting events, competitions, conferences and more.
While music is certainly a focus on campus, Parker is known for being academically strong as well. For many years, Parker Elementary earned top marks from the state education agency. On average, Parker teachers have more experience than their HISD and even state counterparts. With programs like gifted and talented, Global Graduate and Hour of Code, Parker students have the opportunity to dig into advanced and lifelong learning.
