There are also HUSD member schools in the rural communities of [[Anza, California|Anza]], [[Idyllwild, California|Idyllwild]] and [[Winchester, California|Winchester]].

As of January 2010, the school district was facing having to possibly go far out of budget to fix the Historic Hemet Elementary school, due to the fact that it was built on top of a swamp and has been sinking deeper every year. The main building was built in 1927, and is one of the few historic landmarks left in Hemet. The other choice would be to demolish the school and build a new one in its place. The State of California will pay for 50% of either project, but the already cash-strapped district may run into trouble if the repairing of the school goes over budget. A new building could cost $20 million, with an extra $3 million to have it built in the original architectural style of the old building.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rokos |first=Brian |date=January 10, 2010 |title=Soil report offers bleak future for historic Hemet Elementary School |url=http://www.pe.com/localnews/hemet/stories/PE_News_Local_W_eschool11.40b81de.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909215849/http://www.pe.com/localnews/hemet/stories/PE_News_Local_W_eschool11.40b81de.html |archive-date=September 9, 2012 |access-date=September 18, 2010 |work=The Press Enterprise}}</ref>
