Summary

The School of Arts and Enterprise (SAE) is a public 6-12 school in Pomona, CA, serving about 650 students with a strong focus on arts education and a notably low student-teacher ratio.

SAE stands out for its exceptional graduation rates, consistently above 92.5% and reaching 96.1% recently, which is higher than most other Pomona Unified schools and on par with Montclair High. It has shown remarkable improvement, climbing to rank in the 69th percentile of California high schools. Perhaps its greatest strength is its outstanding support for special education students, ranking in the state's 98th percentile for that subgroup. The school's arts-integrated approach appears to benefit English skills, with 11th graders outperforming the state average in Language Arts.

The school does face significant challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are less than half the state average and lower than nearby schools like Bonita High and Diamond Ranch High. Chronic absenteeism is also high, though lower than continuation schools like San Antonio High. For families in Pomona, SAE offers a unique, personalized environment that excels in graduation support and special education, though math achievement is an area for growth.
