Summary

Citrus Hill High is a large public high school serving about 1,630 students in grades 9-12 in Perris, California, operating within the Val Verde Unified School District.

The school shows a mixed performance profile with a clear strength in getting students to graduation, boasting a 94.1% graduation rate that exceeds the state average, but it faces significant challenges in mathematics proficiency, where only 13.75% of students are proficient, a rate much lower than the state and many nearby schools like Polytechnic High and Martin Luther King Junior High. Its performance in English Language Arts is stronger, outperforming the district and state averages, and it spends more per student than several comparison schools.

Notable areas for attention include a chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8%, which is above the state average, and variable outcomes for different student groups, with English Learners struggling but homeless students historically receiving strong support. While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, it occupies a middle position within its own district, performing better than Val Verde High but trailing Rancho Verde High.
