Summary:
Paris J1 School District in Wisconsin is a single-school district made up of Paris Elementary in Kenosha. The school is classified as an elementary school but actually serves grades PK–8, with about 251 students enrolled. Because the district contains only this one building, district and school figures for test scores, chronic absenteeism, and dropout are identical, and there are no other schools to compare against.
On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Paris Elementary scored above the Wisconsin average in most subjects. Third-grade math was the standout at 92.59% proficient versus the state's 54.75%, and eighth-grade ELA (77.42% vs. 54.38%), eighth-grade science (70.97% vs. 51.86%), and fourth-grade social studies (81.48% vs. 65.51%) were also well ahead of the state. ELA was the most consistent subject, with every grade except fifth and sixth above the state average. Math was far more uneven: grades 3, 4, and 8 finished above the state, but grades 5, 6, and 7 fell below, with sixth-grade math at 43.33% — 10.27 points under the state and the lowest reported score in the data. Sixth-grade ELA (53.33% vs. 54.95%) was also slightly behind.
Chronic absenteeism was 0.0% and the dropout rate 0.0%, compared with 17.3% and 1.1% statewide. The school spends $13,777 per student, has a 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 14.34%. Its SchoolDigger rank has slipped from 141st of 1061 (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 389th of 1039 (3 stars) in 2025–2026, and its overall average across reported tests fell from 65.76% to 63.41% while the state average rose. Grade-level percentages rest on small cohorts, so year-to-year swings can be large and should be read with caution.
