GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What I like best about Pomona high school is that you have a large amount of support to get you to & through college. This support is given by the program avid & other college related programs. However, what I dislike about the school is the atmosphere that the school has. It lacks students who really want to become someone someday.

During Quarantine, the administration did not support me or help me catch up on work when I fell ill from covid.

I would have liked if there were more dances for students. Also if the restrooms would have been cleaner. Also, have more classes that helps students decide career paths and prepare them for college. I would have liked if there were certain teachers that were more focused on their responsibilities and have students actually learn the subjects that were provided.

Pomona High School proved to be a very good beginning for my 2 daughters. Both graduated and continued their education through college. My oldest went on to earn a masters degree in business.
