Elementary Schools in Pomona Unified

The Pomona Unified School District in California is home to 24 elementary schools serving grades K-8, with the majority being traditional elementary schools (K-6). The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standout institutions like Pantera Elementary, Ranch Hills Elementary, and Golden Springs Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California. These schools boast significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.

However, the data also highlights substantial performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools within the Pomona Unified district. Schools like Lopez Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Harrison Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates, indicating that some students may not be receiving the same educational opportunities as their peers at the top-performing schools.

Additionally, the data reveals high chronic absenteeism rates across many of the elementary schools, with several exceeding 40%. This suggests that addressing attendance issues could be a priority for the district. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also tend to have lower academic proficiency rates, indicating a potential link between socioeconomic status and student achievement that the district may need to address.
