Elementary Schools in Menifee Union

The 13 elementary-level schools in Menifee Union serve grades K–5 at 11 schools and K–8 at two, in an area where school results vary by subject and campus. In 2025–26, the unweighted school averages were 50% in English language arts (ELA), 45% in math and 42% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest area-wide strength is math and science, while ELA is close to the state average.

Different schools lead in different subjects: Sally Buselt Elementary had the highest all-grades ELA result at 58%, about 9 points above the state; Evans Ranch Elementary led math at 56%, about 17 points above; and Quail Valley Elementary led science at 59%, about 23 points above. At the other end, Freedom Crest Elementary had the lowest ELA and science results, 36% and 26%—about 13 and 10 points below state rates. Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary had the lowest math result at 34%, about 5 points below the state, but its science result was 38%, slightly above the state.

Average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by about 2 points in ELA, 3 in math and 7 in science, outpacing state gains in all three subjects; ELA moved from slightly below to slightly above the state average. Improvement was not universal: Harvest Hill S.T.E.A.M. Academy declined in all three subjects, while Quail Valley’s science result rose about 23 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also rose from 58th to 73rd for Quail Valley and from 58th to 72nd for Evans Ranch between 2023–24 and 2025–26. Quail Valley had the highest reported free/reduced lunch eligible share in 2024–25, 82%, while also leading science; that comparison does not show that one explains the other. Because two schools serve K–8 while the others serve K–5, all-grades results may not be directly comparable.
