Summary:

Covina, California, has 17 listed schools—eight elementary, four middle, four high and one alternative—serving students from elementary grades through high school across Azusa Unified, Charter Oak Unified and Covina-Valley Unified. The biggest difference for families is how widely results vary from school to school: all-grades results span 60 percentage points in ELA, 65 in mathematics and 47 in science, with Fairvalley High (Continuation) at the bottom in all three subjects.

Leaders differ by subject rather than one school topping every measure. Covina High leads ELA at 63%, ahead of Barranca Elementary at 60%; Manzanita Elementary leads mathematics at 65% and science at 47%. Those results are 27 and 11 percentage points above state results, respectively. Fairvalley reports 3% in ELA and 0% in both mathematics and science, and its SchoolDigger ranking is at the 1st percentile. Same-grade comparisons also favor Sierra Vista Middle: in 7th-grade ELA it scores 62%, compared with 33% at Gladstone Middle.

Recent changes are mixed, so a school’s latest result does not tell the whole story. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the unweighted school average was about flat in ELA and rose 3 percentage points in both mathematics and science; Sierra Vista Middle improved by 6, 12 and 13 points in those subjects, while Northview High declined in all three. SchoolDigger rankings rose 17 percentile points for Sierra Vista and 14 for Covina High over the three years shown. As context, schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25: the share ranges from 63% at Manzanita to 91% at Covina-Valley Learning Options Academy, but these figures do not explain school results. All-grades results combine different grade spans and school types, so grade-specific figures are more useful when comparing schools serving the same grade.
