Summary

Val Verde High is a 275-student, grades 9–12 school in Perris, served by Val Verde Unified. Its most serious challenge is that three-quarters of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026: the rate was 75%, compared with 20% in the district and 18% statewide, gaps of 55 and 56 percentage points.

Test proficiency is far below state and district levels in every subject. In 2025–2026, Val Verde scored 10% in ELA, 1% in math and 5% in science; compared with state results, it trailed by 39, 38 and 31 points, respectively, and compared with district results by 32, 22 and 21 points. Science is closest to state and district levels, while math is the lowest score. Against the three nearby traditional high schools in the district, Val Verde was 45 points below their average in ELA, 15 points below in math and 25 points below in science—so math was closest to those peers. Completion figures also raise concern: graduation was 84%, below the state’s 88% and district’s 96%, while dropout was 16%, versus 8% statewide and 3% in the district.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023 in ELA and science, rising from 3% to 10% and from 1% to 5%; math rose from 0% to 1%, remaining very low. SchoolDigger places Val Verde in the 6th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, with 0 stars; its percentile was 3 in 2022–2023 and 8 in 2024–2025. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.9, the lowest among nearby schools listed, while free/reduced lunch eligibility was 94%, the second-highest reported rate among nearby schools with that measure. One historical bright spot: SchoolDigger ranked the school’s effectiveness for English Language Learner students in the 50th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 6th-percentile standing that year; no newer ranking for this group is provided.
