Paramount Brookside has been an A-rated, K-8 school for the past nine years. The school has been recognized by the US Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School AND a Green Ribbon School. No other school in the state of Indiana has achieved this dual honor. US News and World Reports listed Paramount Brookside (with an elementary and middle school) as the top two charter schools in the state. And, when looking at student performance, Paramount Brookside is consistently one of the top 20 schools in the entire state of Indiana. While the academics are unmatched locally, student opportunities in robotics, sports, arts, and environmental education separate Paramount Brookside even further from the competition. The school has an amazing urban farm, complete with a garden, goats, chickens, and bees, and sits on 5 acres in the heart of the city. At Paramount Brookside, the excitement for learning is present in the hallways and classrooms and spills out into the community. Our state-of-the-art facilities, one-to-one technology, robotics, and opportunities for growth make us a smart choice for your child’s education. Our students take pride in their responsibilities and strive to increase their capacity. Paramount Brookside's goal is to build a better future by instilling values that make its students, graduates, parents, and staff continue to seek excellence throughout their lives.
