Pinacate Middle

Pinacate Middle serves the working-class community of Perris, a fast-growing city in the Inland Empire where families are drawn by affordable housing and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. The school's academics are a real challenge here — with scores placing it in the bottom tier statewide across English, math, and science, families looking for a school with strong academic outcomes may want to weigh their options carefully and ask questions about available support programs. That said, Perris itself has a lot of heart, and families who are actively involved in their child's education and willing to advocate for additional resources can help make the most of what Pinacate has to offer.
