Summary

Avalon Elementary is a K–5 school in Perris, California, serving 563 students in Val Verde Unified. Its most striking positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–2026, down from 37% in 2021–2022 and 14 percentage points below the district and 12 below the state. It was the lowest rate among Avalon and the 10 nearby schools.

Academically, Avalon is a comparatively strong local performer in English language arts and math, but remains below California in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, 45% of students were proficient in ELA and 31% in math; both results ranked fourth among Avalon and the 10 nearby schools. Those rates were 3 and 8 points above the district, respectively, and 4 and 7 points below the state. Science is the clearest weakness: 23% were proficient, about the nearby-school average, but 3 points below the district and 13 below the state; Avalon ranked sixth locally.

Test-score trends are mixed, with the state pulling ahead: since 2022–2023, Avalon’s ELA fell from 47% to 45% while the state rose from 47% to 49%; math changed little, while the state rose from 35% to 38%. Science fell 8 points to 23% as the state rose 6 points to 36%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also slipped from the 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026; locally, Avalon ties Skyview Academy and ranks fourth–fifth among 11 schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.9:1, close to the nearby average, and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings place Hispanic Students and Special Education Students at the 64th percentile, 21 points above Avalon’s overall percentile; its African American Students ranking fell from the 88th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 59th in 2025–2026.
