I went to graduated from paramount high school and enjoyed the 3 years i was there, post covid. I think that the peers i had were very diverse. The sports were always entertaining and everyone from faculty to the students were very involved. I would like the cafeteria food to be better. It felt like jail food sometimes.

The best parts of my experience at Paramount would be the students and the activities that we do throughout the year. Like dances, rallys, football games,etc.

Paramount high school is not a bad school for the fact it is public . It is in an area predominantly underdeveloped and low income . The academics and the hard work of motivated students very much show. There are many resources for students that do acknowledge their importance in education . However safety wise and more diversity is an issue .
