Summary

Paris Elementary School in Paris, AR, serves 416 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Paris School District, a 3-star district ranking in the 55th percentile statewide.

Paris Elementary stands out as a "math powerhouse," consistently achieving high math proficiency rates that surpass both the state average and many nearby schools. For example, 55.4% of students were proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to the state average of 44.1%. This is especially impressive given that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a factor that often correlates with lower test scores. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $13,958 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1, which is much lower than schools like Clarksville Intermediate School (21.7:1) and Booneville Elementary School (19.4:1). This suggests a focus on smaller class sizes and individualized attention.

While math is a clear strength, science is an area for improvement, with only 42% of students proficient compared to the state average of 44%. Nearby schools like County Line Elementary School and Scranton Elementary School (both 4-star schools) outperform Paris in every subject, including math and science. However, Paris Elementary’s consistent 3-star rating over the past decade—with a peak of 4 stars in 2022-2023—demonstrates stable, reliable performance. For parents, this school offers a strong math program, small class sizes, and a dedicated approach to supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
