Marshall Pomeroy posts 44.2% exceeding the standard — versus 21.3% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.
Marshall Pomeroy Elementary scores 71 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 92nd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “66% proficient” and call it done. Marshall Pomeroy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Milpitas, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 25.3% of English learners met the ELA standard — versus 10.4% statewide.
