Summary:
Menifee Union has 17 schools in Menifee: 13 elementary schools and four middle schools, with no high schools; two schools serve kindergarten through grade 8, the other elementary schools serve K–5, and the middle schools serve grades 6–8. In 2025–26, the unweighted school averages were 49% in ELA, 41% in math, and 40% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%; 9 of 17 schools exceeded the state in ELA, 11 in math, and 12 in science. The most important takeaway is that results vary substantially by school and subject, rather than one school leading across the board.
Among K–5 schools, Sally Buselt led ELA at 58%, Evans Ranch led math at 56%, and Quail Valley led science at 59%. At the other end, Freedom Crest had the lowest K–5 ELA and science results, at 36% and 26%, while Callie Kirkpatrick had the lowest math result, at 34%. For middle schools, Menifee Valley led ELA at 50%, and Kathryn Newport led math and science at 37% and 44%. Hans Christensen had the lowest middle-school math result, 16%—23 points below the state. Grade-level results also stand out: Herk Bouris fifth-grade ELA was 72%, while Quail Valley fourth-grade math was 63%.
School averages rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26, most in science: ELA increased 1 point, math 1 point, and science 5 points; science improved at 13 schools and declined at four. Quail Valley had the largest science increase, 23 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rank improved by 15 points at Quail Valley from 2023–24 to 2025–26, but fell by 17 at Hans Christensen; those rankings are a separate measure from test results. As context, the 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure ranged from 49% at Harvest Hill S.T.E.A.M. Academy to 82% at Quail Valley. These figures describe differences among schools but do not explain why results differ.
