Everyone really gets into the entire experience of educating and enriching our families lives. We are so looking forward to the construction being

Pomerado is great academically and has wonderful teachers. One thing I don't like about the school is that it is not very well kept. It seems dirty and old. They are really overdue for some repairs.

Pomerado has some great teachers, but also some teachers that seem to have lost focus on why they teach. I don't feel as if it is the safest school. Nobody ever checks ID and the school is open for anyone to walk around and/or in and out of classrooms. It seems to be divided pretty equally from what
... Read more I have experienced. There are wonderful, loving teachers who really enjoy being there and really seem to care about your child. Then there are teachers who are unloving and seem to not have or be able to make time for you or your child. One of my kids has a teacher like that. It's sad to me. Read less

The quality of acedemics at Pomerado has been outstanding. We moved here from a different school district in Washington State where in Kindergarten my son was reading at a lower level. When we moved here to Poway, he had the reenforcement and attention he needed and he is now reading at one of the

The level of parent involvement is a little lacking but if you live in California it is nearly impossible for both mom and dad not to work. That makes it really hard for families to contribute 100 percent. This is a great school and I highly recommend moving to this area if you can afford it! Read less

Pomerado is an excellent school and the teachers are great with the children. My three girls have attended Pomerado and except for one bad teacher, we have had a phenomenal experience. My oldest daughter started kindergarten in another school district and was not doing well. When she arrived at Pomerado,

The great thing about this school is not only are the teachers intuned to the children, the principal and administrators know the children by name as well. I wish I could take them all with us to Middle School. Thanks Pomerado for being so wonderful! Read less
