School Overview

Perris Lake High School, located at 418 W. Ellis in Perris, California, operates as a continuation high school within the Perris Union High School District. Designed to serve students who may benefit from an alternative educational environment, the school focuses on credit recovery and personalized academic support.

Through a curriculum tailored to individual needs, the staff at Perris Lake High works to re-engage students who may have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. Ultimately, the institution functions as a bridge, providing the necessary resources and intervention strategies to help students overcome academic obstacles and transition successfully toward post-secondary education or the workforce.
