Summary

Decker Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 437 students in the Pomona Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where over three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Decker is showing signs of improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating, and it performs better than several nearby schools with similar challenges, such as Philadelphia Elementary and Alcott Elementary. The school has particular strengths in special education services and shows promising performance in 6th-grade English and 3rd-grade math. While chronic student absenteeism is a concern, it has improved significantly from pandemic highs and is lower than at some neighboring schools like Madison Elementary.

There is wide variation in performance across the district, with schools like Pantera Elementary and Golden Springs Elementary achieving higher rankings. Decker's resource allocation, including per-student spending and a 19:1 student-teacher ratio, is favorable compared to some peers like Vejar Elementary. Key areas for growth include addressing the gender performance gap and learning from the exceptional science program at Westmont Elementary to boost overall achievement.
