School Overview

Paradise Elementary sits in the southwest corner of Modesto, offering a surprisingly strong academic program for a school outside the city's more recognized neighborhoods — particularly in math, where it ranks in the 86th percentile statewide. Families who want solid fundamentals in a community-feel setting without the bustle of central Modesto tend to find it a great fit. Modesto itself is an affordable Central Valley city with a lot of local pride, and Paradise draws from a tight-knit area where parents and teachers tend to know each other well.
