Summary:
The NOVA Academy - Coachella District consists of a single high school, NOVA Academy - Coachella, serving about 235 students in grades 9 through 12 in a community with high economic need.
This school demonstrates a striking mix of strengths and challenges. Its greatest success is in guiding students to graduation, with a rate of 95.7% that far exceeds the state average, and in English Language Arts, where over 68% of students are proficient. However, it faces significant difficulties in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates below 16%, and struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2%.
The high per-student spending indicates substantial investment, which has clearly paid off in graduation and English outcomes. For parents, this means the school environment is effective at supporting students through to a diploma, especially in literacy, but targeted support is likely needed for students in math and science. The small size offers potential for community and attention, though the high student-teacher ratio may affect this.
