Summary

Lee V. Pollard High is a public high school serving 413 students in grades 9-12 within the Corona-Norco Unified district, located in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English (10%), math (3%), and science (3%) far below the district averages. A major contributing factor is a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 66.6%, more than triple the district average. Despite these struggles and a state ranking in the bottom 10%, the school maintains a strong 90.8% graduation rate, suggesting effective support systems to help students complete their diplomas. Interestingly, Orange Grove High, a nearby school with similar demographics, faces nearly identical challenges with attendance and test scores.

Pollard spends significantly more per student ($22,738) than other high schools in the area, including Corona High and Santiago High, yet these resources have not translated to improved standardized test results. This presents a complex picture where the school is investing heavily to support a high-need population and succeeding in graduation rates, but still seeking solutions for foundational academic achievement and daily attendance.
