Summary

Perris Elementary is a public elementary school located in Perris, CA that serves 819 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Perris Elementary School District, which is ranked 1321 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perris Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools based on statewide rankings, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.51% of Perris Elementary students were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 48.81%. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 39.9% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, over 80% of Perris Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

While the nearby schools in the same Perris Elementary District generally perform better than Perris Elementary on academic measures, they still struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students from low-income backgrounds. In contrast, the schools in the neighboring Val Verde Unified School District appear to be performing better academically, with higher proficiency rates, statewide rankings, and a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as district-level policies and practices, may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes.
