Summary

Herk Bouris Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 734 students in Lake Elsinore, operating within the Menifee Union district, which generally outperforms the neighboring Lake Elsinore Unified district.

The school's standout strength is its mathematics program, where it significantly outperforms both district and state averages; with 50% of students proficient, it beats the state average by 13 points and performs strongly compared to most nearby schools like Tuscany Hills Elementary and Taawila Elementary. This is notable because the school serves a population with a high level of economic need. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which at 15.3% is higher than most other schools in its own district, such as Chester W. Morrison Elementary (5.3%).

Performance varies considerably between grade levels, with 3rd grade math scores being exceptionally high but 5th grade scores much lower, suggesting a potential area for curriculum focus. While the school's statewide ranking has declined slightly in recent years, its core academic achievement in math remains a strength. Addressing attendance and ensuring consistent teaching across all grades could help the school improve its overall standing.
