Summary:

Perris has 30 schools—17 elementary, four middle, eight high and one alternative—serving students across three districts. In 2025–26, the average school result was below California’s in every subject: 35% versus 49% in ELA, 21% versus 38% in math, and 20% versus 36% in science. The most important finding is how sharply results differ from school to school, so the area-wide averages alone can hide meaningful differences.

Citrus Hill High led reported ELA results at 56%, 7 percentage points above the state and 22 points above the other schools’ average; Orange Vista High was close behind at 56%. Inland Online Academy led math at 62%, 23 points above the state, but enrolls only 19 students. Triple Crown Elementary stands out across subjects, with 55% ELA, 39% math and 43% science; its science result was 7 points above California. At the low end, Val Verde High had 1% math, while Perris Lake High (Continuation) had 8% ELA and 3% science.

Year-to-year movement was mixed: average school results fell 2 points in ELA, rose 2 in math and rose 2 in science. The math average is lifted by Inland Online Academy moving from 0% to 62%; excluding it, the other 26 schools’ average fell 1 point. Grade-specific results can also change the picture: California Military Institute scored 61% in 11th-grade ELA, above the state’s 57%. SchoolDigger ranks Inland Online Academy in the 68th percentile among high schools, California Military Institute in the 53rd, and Triple Crown Elementary in the 63rd among elementary schools. Income measures are context, not explanations: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 85% at Triple Crown and 84% at Good Hope, despite their different results. These are school-level comparisons; one school’s results are state-suppressed and two have no numeric results supplied.
