The school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio and dropout rate compared to nearby schools like St David Elementary School and Benson Primary School.

Pomerene Elementary School's academic performance is a standout, with 75% of its 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 37%, and 66% of its 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27%.

However, the school's performance has fluctuated in terms of its statewide ranking and rating, suggesting it may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence. Furthermore, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 23.48% in 2021-2022 to 48.04% in 2022-2023, which could present additional challenges in providing necessary resources and support to ensure continued academic success. Despite these potential hurdles, Pomerene Elementary School remains a standout in the region, outperforming its neighboring schools in St David Unified District and Benson Unified School District.
