Summary:
The city of Pollock Pines, California is home to two schools: Pinewood Elementary and Sierra Ridge Middle. These schools serve students from the Pollock Pines Elementary district.
Pinewood Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Sierra Ridge Middle, on the other hand, struggles academically, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics falling well below the state averages, particularly in the higher grade levels. Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Comparing the schools' performance to state averages, Pinewood Elementary's 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math are below the state averages, while Sierra Ridge Middle's proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects are generally lower than the state averages. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by these schools and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their background.
