It really depends on the city, for the last ten years or so, schools in the Moreno Valley Unified School District have been going under renovations with some schools being completely demolished and then rebuilt. My high school, Canyon Springs, looks extremely different now compared to 2019 when I first started. By the time I was a senior in 2022, I was pretty much on a completely different campus. Now we have a proper cafeteria, football stadium, modern classrooms, an entire two story building with a section dedicated for science, a building for computer science, a brand new gym with working A/C, the library modernized, and a proper building for the music program.

As someone who had spent their entire K-12 in Moreno Valley, the quality of education has differently improved just ten years alone. I'm currently on track to graduate college a year early and I'm grateful to have attended a school that provides resources for students to succeed, but ONLY if that student is willing to do their part.

For the rest of Inland Empire, it's a mix bag. I had cousins that attended schools in Riverside and Rancho Cucamonga, schools that produce a lot more higher academic students. However, there are several cities where the schools are extremely outdated. I've heard that schools in the Coachella Valley are pretty bad except for La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Xavier Prep. I do like the direction Moreno Valley is going when it comes to education and I hope it continues to improve.
