Summary

Paris Elementary is a PK–8 public school serving 251 students in the rural Kenosha-area Paris J1 School District, which ranks 161st of 432 Wisconsin districts (63rd percentile, 3 stars). The school has a long history of above-average results, but its rank has fallen steadily: from 92nd percentile and 5 stars in 2021–2022 to 87th percentile in 2023–2024, 75th in 2024–2025, and 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026 — its lowest showing in the decade of history provided.

Two things set Paris apart locally. Its reported 0.0% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 is far below the state's 17.3% and lower than every nearby school, including Brighton Elementary (6.2%), Bristol Elementary (6.2%), Union Grove Elementary (9.6%), and Kansasville Elementary (20.8%). Its free/reduced lunch rate of 14.34% is also the lowest among nearby schools. Test scores show real strengths: 3rd grade math at 92.59% proficient (state: 54.75%), 8th grade ELA at 77.42%, 8th grade social studies at 77.42%, and 8th grade science at 70.97% — all well above state averages. Paris generally outperforms Kenosha School District schools such as KSOL, Somers Elementary, Pleasant Prairie Elementary, and Nash Elementary.

The weaker spots are concentrated in the middle grades. In 2025–2026, 6th grade math was 43.33% and 7th grade math 50%, both below state averages, and 6th grade ELA was 53.33%. Nearby Yorkville Elementary, Kansasville Elementary, Bristol Elementary, and Union Grove Elementary generally post stronger middle-grade math. Subgroup results have also softened: female students fell from the 87th to the 54th percentile and low-income students from the 87th to the 64th, while male students remained at the 71st. Spending ($13,777 per student) is mid-range and the student-teacher ratio (15.5) is among the higher ones nearby. Overall, Paris remains a solid above-state school, but the key question is whether the recent dip is a one-year fluctuation or an ongoing trend.

Paris Elementary is an amazing school with great teachers and a wonderful principal. The school is in the middle of nowhere, so it's a hike for many to get to. There are many open enrollment families who highly value a great education; which makes the hike worth every minute of the drive. It has a private school feel. Everyone gets to know everyone. There is great parent involvement in all of the student and fundraising activities. When you get an open enrollment spot, it's like you've won the golden ticket. Close Quote

Small k-8. Has a private school feel. Administrator runs a tight ship. Academics are the centerpiece. Close Quote
