Summary

Pomona Elementary in Manvel, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Alvin Independent School District (Isd) serving 721 students, and it has established itself as a high-performing institution, ranking in the top 6% of elementary schools in Texas. The school stands out for its exceptional ability to support specific student groups, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for both Hispanic and English Language Learner students—a remarkable achievement that surpasses nearby high-performing schools like Silvercrest Elementary (Pearland ISD) and Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary. Additionally, Pomona ranks in the 96th percentile for African American students, demonstrating its effectiveness in closing achievement gaps across diverse populations.

While Pomona excels in many areas, it has a notable weakness with Special Education students, ranking in the 30th percentile, which suggests its general high-performance model may need better adaptation for students with special needs. The school also shows a fascinating pattern in 5th Grade Math: a sharp drop to 17.5% proficiency in 2024-2025 (a widespread issue across Alvin ISD) followed by a strong rebound to 71.82% in 2025-2026, indicating the earlier score was likely an anomaly. Furthermore, Pomona’s ability to challenge high-achieving students is evident in its 6th Grade Math scores (likely advanced 5th graders), which have consistently exceeded district and state averages, including a 100% proficiency rate in 2022-2023.

Compared to its peers, Pomona is on par with Glenn York Elementary (94th percentile) and slightly below Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary (96th percentile), but it outperforms them in supporting Hispanic and ELL students. The school also operates efficiently, with per-student spending ($9,286) lower than schools like Red Duke Elementary ($10,474) and Don Jeter Elementary ($9,997), yet achieving stronger academic outcomes. Overall, Pomona Elementary is a standout choice for families seeking a school with strong, consistent performance and a proven track record of success for diverse student groups.
