Summary

May Ranch Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 848 students in Perris, California, within the Val Verde Unified School District, and stands out for its strong academic results in a high-need community.

The school excels in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates significantly higher than both its district and the state average, and it ranks first in science among all nearby schools. It also has the lowest rate of chronic student absences in the area, showing a major improvement in recent years. While the school's overall state ranking is in the middle, it performs exceptionally well for specific student groups, including English Language Learners, and operates very efficiently, achieving these results with lower per-student spending than most comparable schools like Val Verde Elementary or Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary.

Student performance at May Ranch shows impressive growth, with fifth graders scoring well above average in both English and math. However, the school faces a clear challenge in supporting its Special Education students, whose performance lags. Compared to schools in the neighboring Perris Elementary district, May Ranch is a strong performer, ranking among the top locally, just behind schools like Triple Crown Elementary in some subjects.
