Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
TO INSPIRE LEARNING THROUGH AN UNPARALLELED ACADEMIC APPROACH, AND TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES BY CHANGING LIVES.
Activities or mission (Part I)
PARAMOUNT SCHOOLS OF EXCELLENCE'S SIX 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 2,100 STUDENTS, OF WHICH 75% ARE FROM HOUSEHOLDS AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. RISK FACTORS FOR PARAMOUNT STUDEN,TS 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
