Summary

Marshall Pomeroy Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 597 students in the Milpitas Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California elementary schools.

The school has a remarkable strength in student engagement, boasting the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at just 2.7%, significantly better than nearby schools like John Sinnott Elementary (3.6%) and Curtner Elementary (4.4%). Academically, it outperforms state averages, with 69% proficient in English and 63% in Math, and it shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting English Language Learner students. While strong overall, its math scores are somewhat lower than the district's top performers, John Sinnott and Curtner, indicating a potential area for growth.

Performance varies across different student groups; the school excels with English Learners but has seen a recent decline in its effectiveness rating for Special Education students. Science proficiency, at 50%, is another area identified for improvement. The school achieves these strong outcomes with moderate per-student spending compared to district peers, suggesting efficient use of resources. Its closest neighbor, Joseph Weller Elementary, performs at a very similar level.
