Philadelphia Elementary

Philadelphia Elementary sits in the western end of Pomona, a working-class city in the eastern San Gabriel Valley where families tend to be deeply rooted and community ties run strong. The school faces real academic headwinds, scoring in the lower range statewide, so families who are actively involved in their child's learning — supplementing at home or connecting with teachers regularly — will likely get the most out of what it offers. Pomona itself has an affordable cost of living compared to much of LA County, and for families already planted in the neighborhood, Philadelphia Elementary is the local school that reflects the everyday fabric of this corner of the Inland Empire edge.
