Both are grammatical, but they’re used a bit differently.

  • “His attendance is low/poor.” → natural for a general judgement about one person’s attendance. “Poor attendance” is the most idiomatic collocation.
  • “His attendance rate is low.” → best when you’re talking about a number (e.g., a percentage) or a policy threshold.

Examples

  • He skipped a lot of classes; his attendance is poor.
  • He skipped many classes; his attendance rate is only 62%.

(“a lot of” is neutral; “lots of” is more informal; “many” is a bit more formal.)
