Summary

Pomona High is a public high school serving about 1,000 students in grades 9-12 within the Pomona Unified district, operating in a community with significant economic need where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school shows a clear strength in supporting students to graduation, with a rate over 90% that beats the state average, but faces major academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where proficiency is very low. While English scores are better than some district peers, chronic absenteeism is high, and performance for students in special education and English language learner programs has declined recently. The school has more funding and a better student-to-teacher ratio than in past years, but these increased resources have not yet led to significantly higher test scores.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools reveal that high performance is possible even in similar circumstances, as seen with Village Academy High School at Indian Hill in the same district. In contrast, schools in wealthier neighboring districts like Bonita High (in Bonita Unified) and Claremont High (in Claremont Unified) have much higher test scores, highlighting a common challenge for high-poverty schools in the area. Pomona High's recent improvement from a 1-star to a 2-star rating is a positive step, but consistent progress in math and attendance will be key to its future trajectory.
