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.

N/A

I graduated from this high school just after the Covid epidemic. The school enviroment provided a lot of opportunity and an diverse set of classes. Ideally, the school was meant to set you up for college. However, the biggest downside was the counseling, which was always hard to work with or even get an appointment to. They should have also encouraged more hands on experience for how to apply to colleges or financial aide in the futute. Otherwise, the teachers were all quite supportive, and student engagement with clubs were incredibly high.
