Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75462, all part of the Chisum Independent School District (Isd), serve 1,184 students from elementary through high school on a consolidated campus in Paris, Texas, earning the district a strong 4-star rating.
Chisum Middle is the clear academic standout, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide with exceptional math performance—7th graders achieved a remarkable 71.74% proficiency in 2024-2025, more than double the state average. In contrast, Chisum Elementary shows a significant weakness in early math, with only 31.71% of 3rd graders proficient, well below the state average. Chisum High School excels at keeping students on track, boasting a 97.4% graduation rate and a 0.3% dropout rate, but its Algebra I End-of-Course exam proficiency is just 22.86%, a stark contrast to the middle school's 71.79% proficiency in the same subject. This suggests the middle school successfully accelerates top math students, while the high school's lower score reflects those who did not take Algebra I early.
All three schools share a similar socioeconomic profile, with 38-42% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, making the performance differences particularly notable. The high school spends the most per student at $12,820, while the elementary spends the least at $9,806. Overall, the district provides a solid education with a standout middle school math program, but parents should note the elementary math struggles and the high school's mixed academic results despite strong retention rates.
