Summary

Temescal Canyon High is a 2,373-student school serving grades 9–12 in Lake Elsinore, within Lake Elsinore Unified. Its graduation rate is a standout: 97% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide. The most important concern is math: 26% of students met the proficiency standard, about 12 points below the state’s reported all-grades rate.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, while math is a relative strength among those peers but still lags the state. Among Elsinore High, Lakeside High and Paloma Valley High, Temescal Canyon has the highest math and science results: its 26% in math and 37% in science are above each school’s results. Its 50% ELA result is below the three-school average of 55%. Compared with the state’s all-grades results, Temescal Canyon is about 1 point higher in ELA and science, but 12 points lower in math. Its 11th-grade results are closer to a grade-matched comparison, though they remain below state rates in all three subjects. Graduation is also 1 point above the district rate, and the school’s 0.4% dropout rate is below both district and state rates.

Science has improved the most over time, rising from 21% in 2022–2023 to 37% in 2025–2026; ELA rose from 45% to 50%, while math was nearly unchanged at 26%. Recent results were mixed: science gained 7 points, but ELA fell 10 and math fell 5 from the prior year. SchoolDigger rates Temescal Canyon at the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, down 11 percentile points over two years. Its statewide rankings for African American Students and Military Connected Students are especially low relative to the overall ranking: the groups are at the 23rd and 24th percentiles, respectively, and both rankings have fallen sharply since 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 25.4, higher than at nearby comprehensive peers. In that same school year, 68% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; this is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals.
