of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 20% of California elementary schools

Summary

Arroyo Elementary serves 479 students in grades K–6 in Pomona, California, as part of Pomona Unified. Its clearest academic bright spot is fifth-grade math, but the broader picture is that the school’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: 29% versus 49% in ELA, 23% versus 38% in math, and 17% versus 36% in science. None of the three subjects reached the state proficiency rate.

Fifth-grade math stands out against nearby schools and the district: 27% of Arroyo fifth-graders were proficient, compared with 20% districtwide and 37% statewide; this was the second-highest result among the 11 schools shown, behind only Ranch Hills Elementary. Across all grades, math was closest to the district rate (23% versus 25%), while ELA had the largest gap with both the district (29% versus 39%) and state. Science was Arroyo’s weakest subject in the nearby K–6 comparison: its 17% rate was 4 percentage points below the nearby-school average. ELA and science were also below their respective nearby averages by 7 and 4 points.

Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects, but the longer trend is mixed: since 2022–23, math proficiency rose 8 percentage points and ELA rose 3, while science fell 2; science’s gap with the state widened by 8 points. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 47% in 2021–22 to 22% in 2025–26, though it remained above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Arroyo in the 20th percentile statewide in 2025–26, up 9 points from the prior year, and gave it 1 star. In 2024–25, 94% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; California is a statewide-free-meals state, so that figure does not indicate whether students can receive free meals. The student–teacher ratio was 21.7, near the nearby-school average of 20.8. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Arroyo served Disabled Students ranked it in the 59th percentile in 2018–19, versus the school’s overall 11th percentile that year; for Homeless Students, it ranked in the 56th percentile in 2021–22, versus an overall 20th percentile.
