Perris Elementary School

I was nervous to send my child here after the reviews, but I didnt have much choice. This school offers TK which is AWESOME. I ended up volunteering 1-2 times a week and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff really does care, they try their hardest to have fun while learning, the school does many activities and ALWAYS welcomes parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles to join in (Friday Flag Day, Wake Up and Read, Family Math Night, honoring veterans, carnival night, National walk to School day, etc). The teachers seem to really love what they do, I haven't met a single teacher who isn't passionate about their students. When my child bumped their head on the playground, I was called by the nurse to explain what happened and that my child was okay. This school serves free breakfast and lunch to ALL students no matter the family income. I cant speak for test scores or bullying as I have no knowledge on that subject, but as far as I can tell, this school deserves a higher rating than it gets. The only thing I really dislike is the pickup situation. The parking lot and streets are not capable of handling so many students, so parents will park behind you and block you in until they get their child. Not the schools fault but it does suck.

I do not think this school should still be around. They need new buildings, there is mold and the surrounding area is dirty.
