Summary

Paris Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 421 students in grades PK-4 in Paris, Arkansas, which is part of the Paris School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its test scores, with some grades and subjects performing better than others, but generally outperforms nearby schools, particularly in mathematics.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Paris Elementary School's proficiency rates were 36.1% in English Language Arts, 36.8% in Reading, 55.5% in Mathematics, and 30.6% in Science. These scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, especially in mathematics. The school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which is consistent with the nearby schools in the area.

However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting the need for consistent, data-driven strategies to support student learning and achievement.
