Paris

Located at 1219 Highway 641 South in Paris, Tennessee, the Paris public school district operates as an active, traditional public school system serving a remote town setting. As an independent, non-charter district, it oversees three operational schools dedicated entirely to early childhood and middle-grades education, spanning from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. This tailored structural design allows the district to concentrate its academic programs and resources on foundational learning, fostering student growth through the critical primary and middle school years before learners transition to secondary education.

According to the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the district maintains a total enrollment of 1,538 students, with a steady progression of learners across each grade level—ranging from 78 pre-kindergarten children to cohort sizes averaging 150 to 180 students per grade. The student body reflects a vibrant local community, comprising 1,035 White, 229 Black, 179 multiracial, and 63 Hispanic students, alongside Asian, American Indian, and Pacific Islander representation. While full-time equivalent staffing figures were not recorded in this specific federal data collection period, the district continues its mission as an essential educational cornerstone for families throughout the Paris region.
