The Val Verde Unified School District (VVUSD) is one of two public education governing bodies in Moreno Valley, California which stretches into Perris, California. It currently operates 21 schools and is the neighbor to its larger counterpart, the Moreno Valley Unified School District. VVUSD serves 19,080 students as of 2024.
The district includes portions of the municipalities of Moreno Valley and Perris. It also includes most of the census-designated place of Mead Valley and portions of the CDPs of Lake Mathews, March ARB, and Woodcrest.
In 2021, it was reported by Business Insider that Val Verde Unified had engaged in a scheme to funnel children in Qingdao, China to US colleges. The plan relied on the issuance of fraudulent high school diplomas from "Pegasus California School," a Qingdao-based school that was framed as a legitimate part of VVUSD and thus able to issue proper diplomas from an accredited institution. A follow-on government audit released in 2026 confirmed the report, issuing a rebuke of the school district and several former senior California school officials, including former California State Superintendent Tom Torlakson and former Education Secretary David Long.
