Summary

Citrus Hill High is a 9–12 school serving 1,630 students in Perris, in the Val Verde Unified area. In 2025–2026, its graduation rate was 95%, above the state’s 88%, while chronic absenteeism was 29%, compared with 18% statewide and 20% districtwide. The most important academic concern is math: just 15% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 23% in the district.

ELA is the school’s clearest academic strength: 56% were proficient, 7 percentage points above the state and 14 above the district; only three nearby schools scored higher. Math is weak compared with both, and four nearby schools scored higher. Science was 28% proficient—8 points below the state, but 2 points above the district—with four nearby schools scoring higher among those with reported results. The school’s 95% graduation rate is strong, and its 1% dropout rate is below both the state’s 8% and the district’s 3%, but those outcomes coexist with elevated absenteeism.

ELA has improved, rising 11 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math rose 3 points and science 4; the math and science gaps with the state widened slightly. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and places it at the 47th percentile statewide, ranking it 1,138th of 2,137 schools. The percentile has stayed between 46 and 49 over the last five reported years. In 2024–2025, 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 20.0. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students was at the 99th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 52nd percentile the year before; its measure for Special Education Students was at the 14th percentile, down from the 38th the year before. These are group-specific school rankings, not measures of individual students.
