Summary

Pomeroy Elementary serves 300 students in grades K–5 in Santa Clara, within the Santa Clara Unified area. The clearest concern is that Pomeroy’s academic results trail nearby schools across the board: all 10 nearby schools scored higher in ELA, math and science in 2025–2026, and Pomeroy had the lowest score in each subject.

Math is Pomeroy’s strongest subject relative to the state, district and nearby-school averages, while science is its weakest compared with the district and nearby schools. Pomeroy scored 40% in ELA, 35% in math and 29% in science; nearby schools averaged 61%, 59% and 54%, respectively. Pomeroy was 9 points below the state in ELA, 4 points below in math and 7 points below in science. Its science result was also 22 points below the district’s 51%. Fifth grade stands out as a particular concern: math proficiency was 23%, compared with 45% in grade 4, and fifth-grade ELA was 35%, compared with 45% in grade 4.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023—by about 3 points in ELA, 5 in math and 6 in science—but the path has been uneven: math fell from 43% in 2024–2025 to 35% in 2025–2026, and science slipped from 30% to 29%. SchoolDigger ranks Pomeroy at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, well below the district’s 77th percentile and 4 stars; Pomeroy’s nearby schools rank from the 51st to the 99th percentile. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.3, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California is identified as a state where all students receive free school meals. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also differ sharply: its measure of how well Pomeroy serves Special Education Students was at the 93rd percentile, while its ranking for Asian Students was at the 5th percentile.
