Original Research by School Decision on Paramount Education Studies Inc (79205)
This district no longer operates schools. Paramount Education Studies Inc is listed as a district with an inactive lifecycle status in the state of Arizona, and its single school, Paramount Academy, is also marked as inactive. For the 2023-2024 school year, the district had zero schools in operation. What this means for a parent or resident is straightforward: there is no active school to enroll in, no campus to visit, and no current academic program to evaluate.
State testing data does exist from the 2021-2022 school year, but it is historical and describes a district that has since ceased operations. Because the entity no longer runs schools, those test results describe a past reality rather than a current one. Still, the data provides a picture of what the district looked like in its final years. The district served only middle school grades, a fact that explains why there is no high school graduation rate and why the grade bands tested were limited. The grade served was a single band, mid-level, which the data codes as M.
On state assessments from that last testing period, math proficiency was very low across the grades tested, and in one grade level the share of students meeting the state's proficiency bar was near the floor. English language arts proficiency was also low, though somewhat higher than math. Science results were not publicly reported in a usable form. Putting those outcomes together, overall proficiency placed this district below the midpoint when compared with other districts in Maricopa County. A parent reading historical data like this would want to note that proficiency was weak across the board, and the district's academic standing was well behind most of its county peers.
The available sources do not provide enrollment numbers, student demographics, or economic context. There is no data on how many students attended, what the racial and ethnic composition of the student body was, how many students qualified for free or reduced-price meals, or what the special education and English learner populations looked like. This is a full gap in the record, not a reflection of a particular failure; the district simply has not reported this information in a way the data collection captured. The absence of demographic context makes it harder to interpret the test results, because a reader cannot see what student population those scores represent.
The district was located in Maricopa County, Arizona, though no specific city or street address is in the record. There is no community context or neighborhood description to draw on. The lack of a locale brief and the absence of any parent-relevant district changes in recent years reinforce the picture of an entity that has wound down. No strategic priorities, no program offerings, no staffing information, no discipline data, and no information about access to courses or extracurriculars survived in the available materials.
For a family living in Maricopa County, this district is not an active option. The schools are not open. If a parent or resident is looking at this district, the practical step is to shift attention to the other districts serving the area where they live. The comparison data from the county shows many other districts with far stronger academic profiles, active enrollment, and current programming. This district, for all practical purposes, belongs to the past.
