I was watching the Hearts and Hooves day song when I noticed something peculiar on the school's blackboard:
It's right there at the start. See that triangle? PONIES have VECTOR CALCULUS.

And in grade school no less!

Regarding pony college, we never see a pony college, though that of course doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
However, the main six ponies whose adventures we usually see are much older than these three, yet still not adult, and they clearly don't go to school. In fact only the nerdiest of them appears to have been studying well into young adulthood before she shows up in town with no social skills.
If there is a pony college, it would seem that most ponies either don't go, or don't go for as long as Twilight did, and when they do graduate they graduate at a much younger age than we do, making them highly advanced ponies.
