Summary

Julius Corsini Elementary is a K–5 school in Desert Hot Springs, California, serving 397 students in the Palm Springs Unified district. In 2025–2026, 21% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math, and 9% in science. The central finding is that Julius was near the bottom of its 10 nearby K–5 schools in every subject, ranking lowest in math and science.

ELA is Julius’s relative bright spot among nearby schools: it ranked second-lowest, while math and science ranked last. Still, Julius’s results were below both district rates—37% in ELA, 22% in math, and 19% in science—and state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Nearby-school averages were 33% in ELA, 25% in math, and 22% in science; Julius trailed those averages by 12, 14, and 13 percentage points, respectively. Within the school, fourth grade had its highest reported proficiency, with 27% in ELA and 17% in math. Fifth-grade math was especially weak at 4%, the lowest result among nearby schools for that grade.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 12% to 21%, but math slipped from 13% to 11% and science from 15% to 9%. The state gap narrowed in ELA over that period, from 35 to 28 points, but widened in math from 21 to 27 points and in science from 16 to 27 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 57% in 2022–2023 to 37% in 2025–2026, yet remained above the district’s 31% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places Julius at the 4th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, below nearby schools’ 7th-to-56th-percentile range. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.2, compared with a nearby average of 20.0. In 2024–2025, 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the nearby average was 93%. California is a statewide-free-meals state, so this eligibility figure is context, not a difference in meal availability. One notable group result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner students fell from the 34th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 8th in 2023–2024, indicating that the group’s earlier relative standing in how well the school served them did not persist.
