Pell Grant same no matter what school?

The Pell is based on the FAFSA EFC, not from any CSS profile data. So I would expect to see the same Pell everywhere. And the maximum EFC for Pell is 4617. So yes it is odd that you would get $2500 in Pell with a 6087 FAFSA EFC. Unless the school thinks you made some sort of error on FAFSA and made an adjustment?
