Pomona High administration just does not get it. The student body is made up of a large Latino population yet the extracurricular activites do not reflect the interests of the community. Perhaps the administration cannot understand this considering they are all Anglo and disconnected from the student body.
I think the school is doing great, under new direction and teachers and parents united to create a frienly environment the school is moving ahead in the right direction. State test scores I am sure will go up and the school will turn into a lead school to follow.
PHS is a school trying to give as much opportunities to the students in Pomona. Medical and Engineering Academy gives students a taste of these professional fields. Our AVID program helps prepare our students to be successful in College/University. The AVID program recently became a National Demonstration School which puts it in the top 2% of all AVID schools...and we accomplished it with the combined efforts of PHS students, teachers, admin, and parents. Most of the teachers & admin want the students to be successful. What PHS needs to be 'excellent'? More support from our parents.
I love Pomona High School, it is the best school in Pomona, The staff is just wonderful!
After teaching at Pomona High for many years I realized the students were not the problem here. The administration, top to bottom could care a less about anything other than ADA and test scores.
As an alumi of Pomona High School, I have to say that my experience there was not that great. I think that they could have done a much better job and would have kept me and others in this same school not wanting to transfer to another school in the middle of the year
That school has alot of community programs. Considering the neighborhood it does very well. 2nd best in that district.
I really dont like this school I am currently attending Pomona High School and my expirience has been very bad. There is a lot of teachers that care as many that dont. There should be more academic opportunity such as avid for as many students, more people who care, and want the students to keep their education going.
Pomona High School is a very good school. The teachers there teach well and students are learning so much from them. Pomona may not be the most perfect school... but its the best.
My child is currently attending Pomona High School and has done so for her entire high school career. She is currently in A.P. classes and is doing splendidly thanks to the great teachers of that school. I've compared the teachers at PHS with teachers of some other more 'elite' highschools in other cities, and the ones in PHS seem to be more involved with the children. The problem with that school is the administration who doesn't seem to be very involved with what's going on.
