School Overview

Pomona Elementary sits in the heart of Costa Mesa, a city that blends suburban comfort with a creative, laid-back Southern California vibe — close to the beach, with a strong local arts and dining scene. The school serves a diverse community and shows some real strengths in English, though families should know going in that math and science scores trail behind other schools in the Newport-Mesa district. It's a neighborhood school in the truest sense, and families who are plugged into the community and willing to supplement at home tend to find it a comfortable, welcoming fit.
