Summary

Peralta Elementary serves 443 students in grades K–6 in Jurupa Valley, in a group of 10 nearby elementary schools that also serve K–6. In 2025–26, Peralta’s all-grades proficiency rates were above the nearby-school average and Jurupa Unified in English Language Arts (ELA), math and science, though below California in all three. The key takeaway is that schoolwide results hide a sharp grade-level split: sixth-grade ELA is a standout, while third- and fourth-grade ELA are the clearest concerns.

Peralta’s strongest all-grades comparison is math: 26% were proficient, versus 21% districtwide, 38% statewide and 23% at nearby schools on average. ELA was 34%, compared with 32% for the district and nearby-school average and 49% statewide; Peralta ranked seventh of 11 nearby schools. Science was 19%, above the district’s 18% and the nearby average of 17%, but below the state’s 36%—its largest state gap. Sixth-grade ELA reached 48%, nearly matching the state rate, while third- and fourth-grade ELA were 22% and 24%. This contrast makes grade-level results especially important to consider alongside the schoolwide figures.

ELA and math proficiency rose by about 8 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while science was nearly unchanged and fell further behind the state. Chronic absenteeism improved substantially, dropping 22 points from 2021–22 to 2025–26, to 17%—below the district’s 24% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Peralta at the 28th percentile and one star in 2025–26; its student–teacher ratio was 21.4 in 2024–25, among the lowest nearby. The school reported that 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; this is an eligibility measure, not a count of students receiving meals. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup change: its statewide effectiveness percentile for Special Education Students fell from 64 in 2024–25 to 40 in 2025–26, while the overall percentile was 30 and then 28.
