Paris Elementary School

Summary:

Paris Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Paris, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 165 students. The school is part of the Bear Lake County District, which is ranked 29 out of 56 districts in Idaho and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Paris Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.15%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has seen fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.5% to 18%, which is an area of concern. Academically, the school's performance on ISAT tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts close to the district and state averages, but lower math proficiency rates, particularly in 4th grade. Additionally, Paris Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, the nearby Georgetown Elementary School and A.J. Winters Elementary School have higher proficiency rates, particularly in math, compared to Paris Elementary School. This indicates that the students at these schools may be performing better academically. Furthermore, the presence of Bear Lake On-Line Learning, a virtual school within the same district, provides an alternative educational option for families in the area, although this online school has significantly lower test scores compared to the traditional brick-and-mortar schools.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
