Original Research by School Decision on Paris Cooperative High School
Paris Cooperative High School is a high school district serving grades nine through twelve in Edgar County, Illinois. The district operates as a cooperative entity, jointly run with another district and fed by feeder districts that include Paris Union School District 95.
The available data on this district is quite limited. State testing results for science at the elementary and middle school levels show no reported scores, which reflects the fact that Paris Cooperative serves only high school grades and therefore does not participate in the state assessments administered to those younger grades. No proficiency data, graduation rate, chronic absenteeism figures, or per-pupil spending information was available in the records reviewed.
Enrollment figures reported as zero suggest either a data reporting lag or a status change that has not yet been reflected in the most recent available records. A reader seeking current enrollment and student composition information would benefit from contacting the school directly.
The district's financial picture has shown recent movement. Paris Union School District 95, one of the feeder and funding districts for Paris Cooperative, underwent a notable financial turnaround. In a single year between fiscal 2023 and 2024, the district moved from a state financial warning status to a recognition status, a shift that reflects improved fiscal stability for the schools serving this area. Additionally, in late 2024, Paris Union School District 95 reduced its tax levy request at a public hearing, an unusual step for an Illinois district and one that may affect property-tax projections for families considering a move into Paris.
For a parent or resident evaluating this high school, the immediate next step would be to contact Paris Cooperative High School or its administrative office directly to obtain current enrollment, program offerings, course access, graduation outcomes, and any specific academic or extracurricular details that shape the student experience. The financial stability signals from the feeder district are constructive, but the school's own operational data and academic programming are the details that will determine fit.
