Summary

Paris Elementary is a public elementary school in Taylors, SC, serving 594 students in grades PK–5 as part of the highly rated Greenville 01 school district. This school consistently ranks among the top 10% of elementary schools in South Carolina, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 57th out of 649 schools statewide in the most recent school year.

Academically, Paris Elementary significantly outperforms both district and state averages in every subject and grade level. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency stands at 72.8%, which is nearly double that of nearby Duncan Chapel Elementary (38.6%) and Cherrydale Elementary (36.3%), and well above Taylors Elementary (51.2%). The school also excels at supporting all students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide for low-income students—a top-6% performance that shows strong, equitable teaching practices. Perhaps most striking is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.6%, compared to the district average of 22.5%. Nearby schools like East North Street Academy (29.2%) and Duncan Chapel Elementary (27.6%) have rates nearly four times higher.

What makes Paris Elementary particularly impressive is its efficiency. The school spends $12,059 per student—less than nearly all comparable schools, including Stone Academy ($14,115) and Mitchell Road Elementary ($13,359)—yet achieves better outcomes. While Stone Academy ranks slightly higher overall, Paris Elementary delivers nearly identical results at a significantly lower cost. The school has maintained top-tier rankings for a decade, with only a brief dip during the pandemic year of 2020–2021 before quickly rebounding. For families in the Taylors area, Paris Elementary offers an exceptional combination of academic excellence, strong attendance, and cost-effective operation that is hard to beat.
