This is the best grade school in Wisconsin and top 10 in the country. The focus is clearly on child development, formal learning and emotional growth. Roger Gahart and a strong commitment from the community are what makes Paris excellent in educating children. What you won't find at Paris is politics, critical race rhetoric or whiney staff. What you will find is everyday commitment and hard work by the staff and kids. No bullying, infact the KHK, KIDS HELPING KIDS program has proven that the older children help the younger students feel comfortable and succeed. The only probable drawback is the imbalance of children from outside the district. I believe the school could be moderately improved if class sizes were smaller.

I have had 2 children graduate from Paris, and I have 2 children currently in Paris. I feel so fortunate to have my children here. My 2 graduates feel a close bond with the school and their classmates that I don't think they would have had anywhere else. I really can't say enough regarding how lucky I feel to have my children at this school.

I am a student at Paris and I absolutely love here! I been going to school here since kindergarten and I know I'll miss it when I graduate. The class size in the junior high is around 30, 3-5 is about 25 and k-2 is about 20. The school is very small, and everyone knows everyone. The teachers are the best! They get to know each student personally, and make learning fun and interesting. When I'm older I'll never forget Paris students, activities and especially the teachers.

A true jewel of a school in the Chicago ex-urbs. Like a private school. High standards and a warm environment for students. Great management.

As a new parent at Paris through open enrollment, I am amazed at how welcoming everyone has been. From the New Family Orientation Night, to the PSO meetings, to volunteering in my children's classrooms, we feel that we are valued members of the Paris school community. When we toured Paris with Mr. Gahart, he told us that the staff works very hard to create an "extended family" atmosphere at the school. That is exactly what they do! Our family feels truly blessed to be a part of the Paris School family.

This small rural school and its staff provide top-notch education to students and a sense of community that is unmatched in Wisconsin or any other state. Every student matters.

An amazing place for educational success both academic and social. Paris School promotes academic achievement and mentoring between students. The result: a learning environment free from distractions of other schools and full of students whose test scores make Paris School the highest-rated school in all of Kenosha County!
