Summary

Val Verde Elementary is a K–6 school in Perris, serving 693 students in the Val Verde Unified area. Its 2025–2026 results show a broad academic challenge: proficiency was 31% in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math and 12% in science. Most importantly, the school scored below both its district and California in all three subjects, with the widest state gaps in math and science.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA is the closest of the three subjects to peer results, but still trails the nearby average: 31% versus 38%. Math is 15% versus a nearby average of 25%, and science is 12% versus 21%. The school is also behind Val Verde Unified in ELA, math and science by 11, 8 and 14 percentage points, respectively, and behind the state by 18, 24 and 24 points. Within the school, sixth grade compares more favorably with nearby schools than grades 3–5, though sixth-grade results remain below district and state levels. For example, sixth-grade ELA was 37%, compared with 39% for the district and 48% statewide.

Results have slipped recently: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell from 38% to 31%, and science from 21% to 12%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating also fell 13 percentile points, to the 15th percentile and 1 star. Context includes a 19.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools serving beyond kindergarten, and 90% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools reporting that measure. Chronic absenteeism improved to 23% in 2025–2026, down from 46% in 2021–2022, but remained above the district’s 20% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s historical rating for English language learner students was notably stronger than the school’s overall rating: the group ranked at the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024, versus 26th overall.
