Summary

Julius Corsini Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 397 students in Desert Hot Springs, California, within the Palm Springs Unified School District, an area where schools face significant economic challenges.

The school faces considerable academic difficulties, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, with particularly low proficiency rates in English (24%) and math (13%) that are the lowest among all nearby schools. A primary differentiator is chronic absenteeism; at 47.2%, Julius Corsini's rate of students missing too much school is more than double the state average and the highest among comparison schools like Sunny Sands Elementary (14.4%) and Rio Vista Elementary (14.6%). Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($21,825) than any nearby school and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19-to-1.

Performance is volatile year-to-year, but a relative strength appears in science, where proficiency slightly exceeds the district average. A clear geographic pattern shows schools in Desert Hot Springs, including Two Bunch Palms Elementary and Cabot Yerxa Elementary, consistently perform worse than schools in neighboring communities within the same district, despite similar student demographics and economic profiles.
