GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I moved to Paris for my Freshman year, two years after COVID-19 and it was the best experience any new kid could live. The teachers here are amazing and make you feel safe, the food is unmatched in taste. The thing I love most of all is the students at Paris High, everyone is unique and so many different ethnicity's.

Enjoyed my educational experience at this school. I played in the marching and concert band. I participated in UIL and G/T programs while being a 4A state marching band member for 4 years.

Paris High School has readily prepared me for college through AP and DC courses and provided a safe and productive environment for that. Over the years I have participated in many sports allowing me to learn responsibility and balance. However, I would like to see a more reasonable rule system provided and trust instilled in the students.
