5453^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of California elementary schools

Summary

Perris Elementary serves 617 students in kindergarten through grade 8 in Perris, California, as part of the Perris Elementary School District. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were 22% in English language arts (ELA), 12% in math and 8% in science, below both the district and California in every subject. The most important takeaway is that low results are broad, rather than confined to one subject.

Compared with the nearby schools that reported results, Perris was second-lowest in ELA and science, and nearly tied for second-lowest in math. Its results were about 13 percentage points below the nearby-school average in ELA, 10 points below in math and 11 points below in science. Math is its strongest subject relative to the district and nearby averages: it was 8 points below the district and 10 below nearby schools, compared with gaps of 10 and 13 points in ELA. Science is weakest relative to the state, with a 28-point gap; the state gaps were 27 points in both ELA and math. Grade 7 ELA is a bright spot: Perris scored 45%, above the district’s 40% and both nearby schools reporting that grade, though below the state’s 51%.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 3 percentage points, while math fell 3 points and science fell 2; math and science also lost ground relative to the state. Chronic absenteeism improved from 50% in 2021–22 to 35% in 2025–26, but remains above the district’s 26% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranks Perris 5,453rd of 5,804 California schools, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.7, and 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California’s statewide free-meals flag means that figure is not a measure of access to free meals. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a relative strength for English Language Learner Students: the school ranked at the 43rd percentile in 2023–24, compared with its overall 8th percentile that year. Its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 35th percentile in 2023–24 to the 10th in 2025–26, while the overall ranking was at the 6th percentile in 2025–26; these rankings describe how well the school serves each group relative to the same group at other California schools.
