Summary

Barfield Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 282 students in the Pomona Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Barfield consistently ranks in the lower third of California elementary schools, with current proficiency rates of 34% in English and 23% in math. However, it performs slightly better than several nearby schools in the same district, including San Jose Elementary, Kingsley Elementary, and Harrison Elementary. A significant finding is the dramatic performance gap with schools in the neighboring Claremont Unified district, such as Sycamore Elementary, which have proficiency rates two to three times higher despite receiving less funding per student.

Barfield receives substantial funding, over $23,000 per student, which is higher than most surrounding schools, but this has not translated to proportionally higher academic outcomes. The school shows promising signs of post-pandemic recovery and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than some district peers, but it faces challenges with consistency across grade levels, particularly in 4th-grade math and science. Compared to a nearby charter school, La Verne Science and Technology Charter, which has similar student demographics, Barfield achieves comparable academic results with significantly higher per-student spending.
