School Overview

Hemet sits in the San Jacinto Valley, a more affordable corner of Riverside County where many families are putting down roots and building community from the ground up. Whittier Elementary serves those families with a straightforward, hardworking culture, though its academic scores reflect some of the broader challenges facing schools in this part of the Inland Empire. Families who are active in their child's education and looking to get involved at the school level may find Whittier a place where that kind of engagement can make a real difference.
