Because Pomolita is the only school listed, it is both the group’s highest and lowest in each subject, rather than a meaningful standout among local peers.

Proficiency improved in all subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but science did not keep pace with the state: Pomolita gained 1 point in ELA, 2 in math and less than 1 in science, while state results rose by less than 1, 1 and 3 points, respectively. The state gap narrowed in ELA and math but widened in science, from 11 to 14 points.
