Summary

Paris J H is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Paris Independent School District (ISD) in Paris, Texas, with 520 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.8. The school has faced challenges, including generally below-average test scores across subjects and grade levels compared to state averages, as well as significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups.

While Paris J H performs similarly to or slightly better than other middle schools in the Paris ISD, such as Crockett Intermediate, the school lags behind higher-performing districts like Chisum ISD, where the nearby Chisum Middle School has significantly higher test scores and a 4-star rating. However, one bright spot for Paris J H is its Algebra I end-of-course exam, where the school has consistently achieved 100% proficiency, far exceeding the district and state averages.

Despite these challenges, Paris J H has had relatively low dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 0.6%, which is better than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance for gifted and talented students, while relatively weak with a 2-star rating, suggests there may be opportunities for improvement and growth in meeting the needs of its highest-achieving students.
