Paradise ISD reports enrollment growth, high campus attendance rates
Summary
Superintendent and principals told the board district enrollment rose to 1,376 (up 50 from last year) with campus ADA rates around 97%. Principals highlighted accomplishments and operational updates including a functioning cell‑phone policy at the high school.
Paradise ISD administrators reported steady enrollment growth and high attendance at the school board meeting on Sept. 15, 2025. Superintendent Robyn Gibson said districtwide enrollment is 1,376 this fall, 50 more students than the same time last year; campus average daily attendance (ADA) figures ranged from about 97.17% to 97.4% across campuses.
Intermediate School Principal Kristen Gage provided campus totals—252 students at the Intermediate (4th grade 129, 5th grade 123) with ADA 97.18%. Junior high enrollment totaled 320 (ADA 97.4%) and High School Principal Brent Haugen reported a high school enrollment of 386 (ADA 97.4%), saying the school’s cell‑phone policy is “going well” and noting recent student accomplishments. Assistant Superintendent Stephanie Quarles also recognized Beth Buckner as the September VIP and described student outreach related to a radio broadcast and community service at Kroger. "For the 2024-2025 fiscal year end, the district paid a total of $13,767.60 for district employees to eat either breakfast or lunch each Monday and Tuesday during student school days," Superintendent Gibson said during the report.
The information provides context for staffing and budgeting decisions the board will consider later in the year, including facilities planning tied to a new high school construction project.
