School Overview

Paradise is a small mountain community in the Sierra Nevada foothills that has been working hard to rebuild and find its footing since the devastating 2018 Camp Fire, and Paradise Junior High reflects that same resilient spirit. The school sits in the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative strength, and families who choose to stay or return to Paradise tend to be deeply rooted in the community and committed to its recovery. For seventh and eighth graders growing up here, there's a sense of shared history and tight-knit belonging that's hard to find anywhere else.
