Summary

Avalon Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 563 students in Perris, CA, within the Val Verde Unified School District, and stands out for its strong math program and impressive improvements in student attendance.

The school is a clear leader in mathematics within its district, with student proficiency significantly higher than the district average and outperforming most nearby schools like Val Verde Elementary and Sierra Vista Elementary. It has also made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half in recent years to a level now better than both the district and state averages. Furthermore, the school shows notable effectiveness in supporting several key student groups, including English Language Learners and students in special education.

While Avalon's overall performance places it solidly in the middle among schools in Val Verde Unified—behind higher-performing schools like Triple Crown Elementary and May Ranch Elementary but ahead of others—it generally performs better than schools in the neighboring Perris Elementary district. Areas for growth include elevating science scores to state levels and addressing performance gaps for some student groups.
