Summary

Orange Grove High is a very small public high school serving 162 students in grades 9-12 within the Corona-Norco Unified district, characterized by significant academic challenges and a high rate of student economic need.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in the state, with proficiency rates far below district and state averages; for example, 0% of students were proficient in math compared to 43% in the district. This is despite the school spending over $32,500 per student—more than double the amount of a nearby school like Eleanor Roosevelt High—and having a low student-teacher ratio. A major contributing factor is chronic absenteeism, affecting 66.9% of students, which is nearly five times the district average. The school's performance is very similar to another small school in the area, Lee V. Pollard High, which faces comparable challenges.

While graduation rates have recently been high, they fluctuate significantly year-to-year. In contrast, a nearby charter school, Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco, with a similar small size, reports much higher academic proficiency and no chronic absenteeism. This highlights a wide performance gap within the same geographic area, where other comprehensive high schools like John F. Kennedy High achieve dramatically higher test scores and lower absenteeism.
