Paradise Elementary School District

Paradise Elementary School District, doing business as Paradise Elementray School, is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Modesto, California that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; its entire federal footprint consists of grant awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education).

Paradise Elementary operates as a prime grant recipient for 91% of its federal funding activity, with the remaining 9% consisting of sub-grant awards. The district has received consistent annual funding from the Small, Rural School Achievement Program dating back to 2007, with formula grants awarded on July 1 each year for twelve-month performance periods running through September 30. Recent prime grants include awards for July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027; July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026; July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025; July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024; and July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. Two sub-grant awards appear in the recent period: one dated August 31, 2026 and another dated September 1, 2025 from the Department of Education California, focused on improving student academic achievement and increasing highly qualified teachers in the classroom.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 95% of recent awards across the district's full federal portfolio. Total dollars obligated across all twenty-two awards in the source data span from 2007 to present and total $435 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of rural school district formula grant funding. Activity remains consistent at one to two awards annually over the past five years, with one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district serves a single federal customer agency and does not engage in federal contracting, compete for task orders on government-wide vehicles, or hold teaming relationships with federal contractors.
