Summary

Lopez Elementary serves 394 students in grades K–6 in Pomona, within Pomona Unified. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 21% in English language arts (ELA), 14% in math and 21% in science. The clearest concern is ELA: Lopez was second-lowest among 11 nearby schools, and its results trailed both the district and California.

Science is Lopez’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools and the district, while ELA is its weakest. Science proficiency was 21%, just 2 points below the district and 2 points above the nearby-school average of 19%, although it remained 15 points below the state. ELA was 18 points below the district, 28 points below the state and 10 points below the nearby average of 31%. Math proficiency was 14%—11 points below the district, 24 below the state and 8 below the nearby average of 22%. One notable exception is fifth-grade math: Lopez’s 26% proficiency was second-highest among the nearby schools and above the district’s 20% and nearby average of 17%, but below the state’s 37%.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, especially in science, but the gains have not been consistent each year: ELA rose 3 points, math 1 point and science 10 points. Science’s gap with the state narrowed by 4 points, while math’s widened by 2. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 62% in 2021–2022 to 27% in 2025–2026, though it remained above district and state rates. SchoolDigger ranked Lopez 5,263rd of 5,804 schools, at the 9th percentile with 0 stars. In 2024–2025, 98% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 23.1, the highest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s Homeless Students ranking was notably higher than the school’s overall standing in 2024–2025: the group ranked at the 29th percentile, compared with 6th percentile overall.
