Our School History
West Riverside is one of sixteen elementary schools in the Jurupa Unified School District. Established in 1963, our school district includes elementary schools, middle schools, comprehensive high schools, a continuation high school, an adult school and programs serving students with special needs. Spanning 44 square miles in western Riverside County, Jurupa Unified School District is committed to academic excellence.
The first school in the Jurupa area was built in 1856 on the site now occupied by West Riverside Elementary. The current buildings were erected in 1949. The building housing the main office, nurses office and teachers' lounge was built in 1990.
Two Preschool and two Headstart classes are located on our campus. Up to twenty-four students attend each session. Each class is staffed with a teacher and an aide. Numerous volunteers assist in these classrooms. Preschool and Headstart emphasize both developmental skills and pre-kindergarten academic readiness skills as part of their curriculum.
West Riverside continues to experience an increasing population of English language learners. To address this issue, the District has placed an emphasis on having teachers fully qualified to teach ELD and SDAIE at West Riverside. Every teacher at West Riverside posseses CLAD, BCLAD or comparable authorization.
