Summary

Taawila Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 803 students in the Menifee Union School District, earning a 4-star rating and standing out for its strong academic results and effective support for students.

The school significantly outperforms both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. This strength is clear when compared to nearby schools like Freedom Crest Elementary and Southshore Elementary. Taawila also excels in supporting student groups, such as those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, achieving results that rank in the state's top 10%. Furthermore, the school maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7%, which is better than the district and state averages and indicates a positive and engaging school environment.

Taawila shows a steady pattern of improvement and uses its resources efficiently to achieve these strong outcomes. While the school serves a diverse population, it demonstrates notable success with its Hispanic student subgroup. An interesting comparison is Cottonwood Canyon Elementary in the neighboring Lake Elsinore Unified district, which has a similar student profile but lower scores, particularly in science. Taawila's combination of academic excellence, effective support systems, and high student attendance makes it a standout choice for families in the Menifee area.
