Summary:
The Paris Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the Paris Independent school district in Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with an enrollment of 307 students.
Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending, Paris Elementary School is consistently performing well below the state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates that are 5-10 percentage points lower than the Kentucky averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school is ranked 588 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lower-performing elementary schools in the state.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Paris Elementary School, 78.5%, suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. While the district's lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1 could be an attempt to provide more individualized attention and support, it does not appear to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes for the school.
