Summary

Covina High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to about 1,056 students in the Covina-Valley Unified School District, maintaining a solid 3-star rating and a very strong 97% graduation rate that outpaces the state average.

Academically, the school shows a distinct pattern: it excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates notably higher than both the district and state, but faces significant challenges in mathematics and science, where scores fall below these benchmarks. This creates one of the largest gaps between reading and math performance in the area, especially when compared to nearby schools like South Hills High and Mt. SAC Early College Academy, which perform better across subjects. While Covina High spends more per student than several comparison schools, its chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than some peers.

The school's effectiveness varies across different student groups, with some subgroups performing very well compared to their peers statewide, while others face greater challenges. Historically, the school's statewide ranking has seen a decline from a previous peak, even as other local schools like West Covina High have shown improvement. The high graduation success indicates strong systems for keeping students on track to earn their diploma, despite the academic hurdles in specific subjects.
