Summary

Lucerne Valley High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 and 322 students in Lucerne Valley, California. It pairs a standout reported graduation rate—100% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide and 54% in Lucerne Valley Unified—with a 0% dropout rate. But chronic absenteeism was 33%, versus 18% statewide and 17% in the district, and proficiency was below the state in every tested subject. The central takeaway is that strong reported completion rates coexist with substantial attendance concerns and weak academic results.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject against its district: 41% proficiency, compared with 32% in the district, although still below the state’s 49%. Science was 19%, about 1 point above the district but below the state’s 36%. Math is the clearest weakness: 13% proficiency, versus 14% in the district and 38% statewide. The gap also shows up against nearby four-year high schools: Big Bear High, Apple Valley High and Granite Hills High averaged 58% in ELA, 23% in math and 35% in science, all higher than Lucerne Valley.

Over time, ELA proficiency rose 7 points and science rose 11 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math fell 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,449th of 2,137 California schools, in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars; its percentile was 37 in 2021–2022 and 58 in 2017–2018. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.1, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, while 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the highest nearby rate reporting this same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students fell from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th in 2024–2025, a 30-point drop; its Female Students ranking rose from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 45th in 2025–2026.
