Pomona and some of the surrounding area are served by the Pomona Unified School District. Pomona contains a mix of both public and private schools. There are two private schools that are located on Holt Blvd, being St. Joseph Elementary School and Pomona Catholic High School.
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona is located southwest of the junction of the 10 and 57 freeways. The university offers a variety of degrees but is best known for its engineering, agricultural, architectural, and business programs. Cal Poly Pomona is located in what could be called an industrial-agricultural suburb. This location has contributed to limited local housing and a largely commuter student body. This, in part, has led to an environment where many students come to school only for class and a less active student body than is traditionally seen at state colleges. Unlike most California Universities, Cal Poly Pomona does not have a student TV or radio station, but campus events are covered by the student newspaper, the Poly Post. A rival newspaper/e-letter The Pomona Point formed in 2007 to satirize articles written in the Poly Post as well as humor students who are familiar with buildings, events, and ideas seen on campus.
