The Paris Public School, at Main and 1st Sts., North, in Paris, Idaho, is a historic school that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a brick building. It was designed by architect Richard C. Watkins in Prairie School style and was built in 1918.

It is significant partly for reflecting a local fad: the school, the Hotel Paris, the Les and Hazel Shepherd Bungalow, and the LDS Stake Office Building (all also NRHP-listed in Paris), reflect the Prairie style, which is otherwise relatively rare in Idaho. According to a 1980 study, the style's unusual popularity in Paris gives the city a sense of architectural unity.^[2] The same study called the Public School the best and most representative example of the Prairie School in the city.^[3]

It was listed on the National Register in 1982.^[1]
