Summary:

Perris, California, is served by 30 public schools across elementary, middle, and high school grades, primarily within the Val Verde Unified, Perris Union High, and Perris Elementary districts, educating around 18,000 students in a community with high economic need.

When comparing schools, California Military Institute stands out as the top-performing high school with a 100% graduation rate and low absenteeism, while elementary schools like Triple Crown Elementary and May Ranch Elementary in Val Verde Unified consistently show stronger academic proficiency, particularly in math and science, than most middle and high schools in the area.

Key challenges across Perris schools include high chronic absenteeism, especially at schools like Val Verde High and Perris Lake High (Continuation), and widespread struggles with math proficiency. Overall, the data suggests that while many schools face significant hurdles, the structured environment of California Military Institute and the success of certain elementary schools provide promising models for student achievement in the community.
