Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO INSPIRE LEARNING THROUGH AN UNPARALLELED ACADEMIC APPROACH, AND TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES BY CHANGING LIVES.
PARAMOUNT SCHOOLS OF EXCELLENCE'S THREE EAST SIDE CAMPUSES EXIST TO EDUCATE K-8 GRADE STUDENTS IN AN INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT INSTILLS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR SUCCESS. ESTABLISHED IN 2010, PARAMOUNT ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION THROUGH AN EMPHASIS ON RIGOROUS ACADEMICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. AUTHORIZED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF EDUCATION INNOVATION, THE FREE PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS CURRENTLY SERVE 1,060 STUDENTS, OF WHICH 80% ARE FROM HOUSEHOLDS AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. RISK FACTORS FOR PARAMOUNT STUDENTS INCLUDE LACK OF SOCIAL AND SCHOOL READINESS, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, UNDERPERFORMING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS, AND LOW PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. THEREFORE, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SCHOOL CONTINUALLY FIND WAYS TO REMOVE OBSTACLES THAT HAMPER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, SO PARAMOUNT'S STUDENTS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
PARAMOUNT'S EDUCATION FRAMEWORK AND HARDWORKING STAFF HAVE PROVEN TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION. STATE TESTING CONSISTENTLY RANKS PARAMOUNT AMONG THE TOP CHARTER SCHOOLS IN INDIANA. RESULTS FOR THE 2019 INDIANA ILEARN ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT PLACED PARAMOUNT COMMUNITY HEIGHTS AS THE TOP-PERFORMING SCHOOL WITHIN THE IPS' BOUNDARIES, AND PARAMOUNT BROOKSIDE AS THE FOURTH HIGHEST. ADDITIONALLY, PARAMOUNT BROOKSIDE HAS DESIGNATED AN INDIANA "A" SCHOOL AND A 2018 U.S. BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL. THE EDUCATION EQUALITY INDEX RECOGNIZED PSOE FOR CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IRRESPECTIVELY OF A FAMILY'S INCOME. AND THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION INCLUDED PARAMOUNT AMONG THE 200 PROMISING PRACTICES FOR ACCESSIBILITY IN STEM EDUCATION.
