Summary:
The nine elementary schools in Perris Elementary serve kindergarten through grade 8 overall, across schools with different grade spans; eight have 2025–2026 test results, while Young Explorers Academy serves kindergarten only and has no test scores. Across the eight tested schools, average proficiency was 31% in ELA, 19% in math and 16% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%—gaps of 18, 19 and 20 percentage points. The most important finding is that every tested school scored below the state in all three subjects, including the area’s top school in each subject.
Skyview Academy had the strongest all-grades ELA and science results, at 42% and 30%, and ranked second in math at 24%. Clearwater Elementary led math at 28% and was close behind Skyview in ELA at 42%. Innovative Horizons Charter was third in ELA at 37% and second in science at 25%. At the lower end, Good Hope Elementary had the lowest math result, 12%; Perris Elementary had the lowest ELA result, 22%, and science was also low at 8%; Enchanted Hills Elementary had the lowest science result, 7%.
Year to year, average ELA and math results slipped by less than 1 percentage point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science rose by 2 points; the state improved in all three subjects, so the schools did not close the overall gaps. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings put Skyview at the 43rd percentile and Clearwater at the 38th, compared with the 5th for Good Hope and 6th for Perris Elementary. Absenteeism also distinguishes schools: Skyview was at 15% and Innovative Horizons at 18%, below the state’s 18% rate, while six tested schools were above it. All nine schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025; among tested schools, results ranged from 80% at Clearwater to 87% at Perris Elementary. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 22.4:1 at Innovative Horizons to 25:1 at Clearwater, but neither measure neatly separates stronger from weaker results.
