Middle Schools in Paris Independent School District (Isd)

The Paris Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two middle schools: Crockett Intermediate and Paris J.H. While both schools face challenges in student performance, Paris J.H. has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and exceptional proficiency in STAAR Algebra I, outpacing the district and state averages.

Crockett Intermediate stands out for its diverse student population, with a high percentage of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science compared to state averages. In contrast, Paris J.H. outperforms the district and state in STAAR Reading for 7th and 8th grades, as well as STAAR Math for 8th grade, indicating that the school may be implementing effective strategies to support student learning.

Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This raises concerns about equity and access to quality education within the Paris ISD. Additionally, the similar spending per student but differing student-teacher ratios suggest that the district may need to examine how resources are allocated to ensure equitable distribution and optimal learning environments for all students.
