Summary

Alcott Elementary is a public elementary school in Pomona, California, serving 634 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Pomona Unified School District, which is ranked 1103 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alcott Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance on state assessments, and particularly low performance for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 28.22% of Alcott students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.31% for the district and 48.81% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 15.82%, compared to 23.97% for the district and 37.3% for the state. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.6, which may contribute to the academic struggles.

When comparing Alcott Elementary to nearby schools in the Pomona Unified School District, it becomes clear that Alcott is one of the lower-performing schools in the district. Schools like Decker Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Philadelphia Elementary generally outperform Alcott on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the challenges at Alcott will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
