I am a father of 2 children who attend Paradise Elementary School. We've been living in Paradise since September 2013. My daughter has attended Paradise Elementary for 3rd and 4th Grades so far and my son is in Kindergarten. I've been very impressed with the quality of teachers and staff there so far. I have learned that the years in elementary school are both critical and special in developing children. I think Paradise Elementary provides a well rounded curriculum which meets the kids' scholastic and social needs. The extra curricular activities such as field trips, child performances, school fairs and open house nights are enjoyable for both the children and parents. My wife and I have also enjoyed the opportunities to participate in our kids' education by volunteering in the classroom to help the teachers with anything they need. Some people prefer not to help in the classroom, I personally believe it is beneficial for everyone because it helps the parents stay connected with their children, the teacher as well as the curriculum.

PES is a great school! It is like any opportunity, you reap what you sow! If you are involved in your child's education, and educational needs they are easily met here! The PTO is an amazing organization and I would encourage anyone to go to the meeting they are very informative and helpful. The principal is very good at staying with in the guidelines given to her by the district, but making sure that the staff is taken care of and utilizes to their strongest abilities. The teachers are exceptional and do an amazing job of working together to make sure the children are of the utmost priority! The school is older, but the atmosphere is vibrant and exciting. The district has pushed for 24 to1 ratio in the younger grades, and it is making a difference!! Thank you PES for a great experience!!

Terrible overall first year experience. The staff lacks communication skills. Classes are over full. The school just doesn't have a good feel. My daughter did not want to return. I have since enrolled her into another school.

My daughter has attended Paradise Elementary School for three years now. We have had wonderful teachers all three years. Both principals were also excellent. I am pleased with my daughter's overall education.
