Summary

Val Verde Elementary is a K-6 public school in Perris, CA, serving 693 students in the Val Verde Unified district, which serves a community with significant economic need.

Academic performance at the school is a serious concern, as it ranks in the bottom third of California elementary schools and shows large gaps compared to other schools in the same district. For example, in mathematics, only 17.65% of students are proficient, which is less than half the rate at nearby Triple Crown Elementary. A major differentiator is chronic absenteeism, with 32.1% of students missing too much school—a rate nearly double that of district peers like Avalon Elementary and May Ranch Elementary. Interestingly, the school receives more funding per student than these higher-performing neighbors.

Despite a decade-long decline, there are signs of recent stabilization. The school shows relative strength in supporting English Language Learners, but special education student performance has dropped sharply. Compared to schools in the neighboring Perris Elementary district, Val Verde outperforms some, like Enchanted Hills Elementary, but lags behind others like Skyview Elementary. Addressing the severe attendance issue appears to be the most immediate opportunity for improvement, given that nearby schools with similar student populations have much better attendance rates.
