The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is responsible for assessing public school students, as well as determining school and district accountability ratings. Under the new standard, now in its third year, districts and campuses fall under the rating of "met standard" or "improvement required," or "met alternative standard" for some alternative and charter schools.

Campuses that have a rating of Met Standard are eligible for Distinction Designations for outstanding achievement in academic areas. Distinction Designations compare campus performance to the performance of forty similar campuses - if campus performance is at the same level as the top 10 campuses in their comparison group, then the campus earns a distinction. Distinction are available for academic achievement in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Student Progress, Closing Performance Gaps; and Postsecondary Readiness.

Every eligible campus in Paris ISD earned distinction designations for a district total of seventeen. Paris High School earned five distinctions, Paris Junior High earned three distinctions, Crockett received a perfect five out of a possible five distinctions, Justiss earned three distinctions and Aikin earned one distinction. Travis High School of Choice, Lamar County Head Start, Givens Early Childhood Center, and Paris DAEP are not assessed or rated.
