The Paris community invests professional talent, tax dollars and volunteer time in its community education system to offer the broadest opportunities for youth and adults.
More than 2,300 students attend the public school districts serving the Paris area. Public school facilities include two modern elementary buildings offering daily kindergarten through fifth grade, recently upgraded in a $7 million capital building program; one combined grade middle school; one separate middle school also recently expanded; and one high school with student enrollment averaging approximately 800 young men and women.
The city also has two large day-care and pre-school centers, one operated by the non-profit Children’s Home, and the other by the Lutheran Church. Both are in new facilities and meet all state licensures.
The basic education program in elementary grades is supplemented by music, art, sports and computer introduction. Middle schools provide expanded extra-curricular activities and classes, which are a transition between elementary school and high school.
