Summary:
The Paris Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves six schools—two elementary schools (Aikin Elementary and Justiss Elementary), two middle schools (Crockett Intermediate for grades 5-6 and Paris J H for grades 7-8), and two high schools (Paris High School and Travis H S Of Choice)—with a high level of economic disadvantage across all campuses.
Paris J H stands out as the district's strongest performer, earning a 3-star rating for three consecutive years and achieving over 95% proficiency on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Justiss Elementary is a notable improver, rising from the 13th to the 32nd percentile in state rankings and showing particular strength in 4th-grade Reading, including a Spanish-language program where 70% of students scored proficient. Travis H S Of Choice is an anomaly: despite spending $24,300 per student and having a tiny student-teacher ratio of 5.8, its test scores are the district's lowest, though it maintains a 0% dropout rate and a 94% graduation rate, suggesting it serves a specific at-risk population effectively.
Key metrics reveal a district-wide challenge in elementary math, with no grade achieving even 44% proficiency and 6th-grade math at Crockett Intermediate falling to just 20.63%. Paris High School performs near state averages in Biology and Algebra I but lags in other subjects, while both high schools boast strong graduation rates above 94%. The success of Paris J H in advanced math and Justiss Elementary in reading improvement offer bright spots, but the district's overall 30th percentile ranking underscores significant work ahead, particularly in building foundational math skills.
