Summary

Clearwater Elementary is a public elementary school located in Perris, California, serving 650 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Perris Elementary District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clearwater Elementary consistently outperforms the Perris Elementary district and the state of California in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Clearwater's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.33%, compared to 30.93% for the Perris district and 44.21% for the state. In Mathematics, Clearwater's 3rd grade proficiency rate was 42.86%, compared to 28.07% for the Perris district and 46.3% for the state. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 36.7% over the past few years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Clearwater Elementary generally outperforms other schools in the Perris Elementary District, such as Enchanted Hills Elementary and Perris Elementary, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, some schools in the neighboring Val Verde Unified District, such as Sierra Vista Elementary and Avalon Elementary, have shown stronger academic performance in certain grade levels and subject areas.
