Summary
School of Arts and Enterprise is a 647-student school in Pomona, California, serving grades 6–12 in an area with nearby schools across Pomona and surrounding communities. Its 2025–2026 English language arts and science results were close to California’s, but mathematics stands out as the clearest concern: 11% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a gap of 27 percentage points.
The school’s strongest results are in upper-grade English and science, while math is much weaker, especially in middle school. In grade 11, 61% were proficient in English, about 3 points above the state, and 46% were proficient in science, 8 points above the state; the science result was higher than any nearby school with a reported grade 11 result, including Garey High at 42%. Across all grades, the school ranked sixth of 11 nearby schools in English, third-highest in science, and fourth-lowest in math. Its overall math result was also below the nearby-school average of 26%. The 25% math result for Pomona Unified is a local reference, not the school’s own district result; test scores for the school’s district are not supplied.
English and science have improved substantially since 2022–2023: English rose from 32% to 49%, and science from 15% to 36%. Math has not made comparable progress: it was 11% in both years, and fell from 18% in 2024–2025 to 11% in 2025–2026. School of Arts and Enterprise earned a SchoolDigger statewide rank at the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 69th percentile the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio was 12.3 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools, but this has not meant stronger math results. The school reported 69% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 79%; because California is a statewide free-meals state, this is an eligibility measure, not a measure of who receives free meals. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Special Education Students was at the 86th percentile, compared with 61 overall, indicating stronger relative standing in how the school serves that group. Its ranking for Hispanic Students rose from the 55th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 71st in 2025–2026. Attendance remains another area to watch: chronic absenteeism was 29%, above California’s 18%.
