Paris Independent School District
Paris Independent School District is a public school district based in Paris, Texas (USA). It is a 4 A school, and is the largest in Lamar County, with an enrollment of almost 3,900 students.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[1]
In 2021 the district had about 4,000 students. In 2021 Paris ISD, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas, altered its dress code so students are required to wear masks. It was an attempt to circumvent Governor of Texas Greg Abbott's decision that school districts cannot require masks.[2]
