Summary

Arroyo Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 479 students in the Pomona Unified School District, located in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Arroyo ranks in the lower quarter of all California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science below the district average. However, its performance places it in the middle compared to nearby schools; it outperforms lower-ranked schools like Lopez Elementary and Lincoln Elementary but trails higher-performing neighbors such as Cortez Elementary and Ranch Hills Elementary. The school has shown significant strength in improving student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half over two years to a rate that is now better than the district average.

Performance varies considerably by grade, with sixth graders performing notably better in English than other grades, while science is an area of focus across the school. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, and recent increases in per-student spending coincide with the major improvements in attendance. For parents, Arroyo represents a school in a challenging district that is making clear progress on getting students to school regularly, with academic results that are average for the local area but below state averages.
