Best Elementary Schools in Menifee, CA

This analysis examines 10 elementary schools in Menifee, California, serving grades K-5 (with some K-8), across the Menifee Union and Romoland Elementary districts, revealing a mix of strong performers and schools facing significant challenges.

Standout schools include Taawila Elementary, which consistently ranks highest with strong test scores and very low chronic absenteeism, and Sally Buselt Elementary, which has the lowest absenteeism rate. Evans Ranch Elementary also excels, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Freedom Crest Elementary and Hillside Innovation Academy show the weakest academic performance and higher rates of student economic need.

Key takeaways show that schools with lower chronic absenteeism, like Sally Buselt and Chester W. Morrison Elementary, tend to perform better, and higher per-student spending does not guarantee stronger results. The virtual school, Menifee Virtual, faces unique challenges with performance drops in upper grades. Overall, the Menifee Union district performs better than Romoland Elementary, demonstrating that strong outcomes are achievable even in areas with high economic need.
