Summary

Perris Lake High (Continuation) is a small public high school in Perris, California, serving 228 students in grades 9-12 who have typically faced significant academic or personal challenges in traditional school settings.

The school plays a crucial role by providing an alternative pathway to a diploma, and in some recent years, its graduation rate has been strong, even exceeding the state average. This shows success in its core mission of helping at-risk students complete their education. However, the school faces profound challenges, most notably an extremely high rate of chronic student absenteeism, which at over 80% is more than double the average for the Perris Union High district. This severe attendance issue is closely linked to very low standardized test scores in English, math, and science, which are significantly below those of nearby comprehensive high schools like Perris High and Heritage High.

Perris Lake High receives more funding per student than most comparison schools, which reflects the additional support its students require. Its performance patterns are very similar to other local continuation schools, such as Val Verde High, indicating these are systemic challenges for this type of educational model. While the school struggles with attendance and academic proficiency, it shows relative effectiveness with certain student groups, such as those in special education, suggesting areas of instructional strength.
