Perry Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 365 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
