POMONA ALTERNATIVE

Pomona Alternative is a Title I public school that is part of the Pomona Unified school district, located in Pomona, CA with about 30 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, Pomona Alternative has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pomona Alternative is a specialized educational facility operated by the Pomona Unified School District (PUSD). Designed to serve students who may require a non-traditional approach to learning, the school provides an environment tailored to those who benefit from smaller class sizes, flexible scheduling, or specialized instructional methods. Its primary mission is to offer a supportive pathway for students to complete their high school graduation requirements while overcoming personal, social, or academic obstacles that might hinder their success in a conventional comprehensive high school setting.

Located on East Holt Avenue, the school emphasizes a student-centered curriculum that balances core academic subjects with credit recovery and individualized goal-setting. By prioritizing personal development and academic accountability, Pomona Alternative strives to re-engage students in their education, ensuring they are well-prepared for post-secondary opportunities, whether in the workforce, trade schools, or higher education. For more information regarding their specific programs and registration procedures, the district's official website at www.pusd.org serves as the primary resource.
