Summary

Telesis Academy of Science & Math is a K-8 public school serving 621 students in West Covina, part of the Rowland Unified School District, with a consistent statewide ranking around the middle and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture: while English Language Arts performance is near the state average, proficiency in mathematics and science is significantly lower, especially when compared to nearby schools like Shelyn Elementary and Stanley G. Oswalt Academy. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the district average. However, Telesis demonstrates a notable strength in its exceptional support for homeless students, consistently ranking in the top tiers for serving this vulnerable group.

When looking at resources, Telesis spends less per student than several neighboring schools with similar demographics, such as Hollingworth Elementary. Performance varies greatly by grade, with math scores dropping sharply in middle school, and there has been a recent, concerning decline in outcomes for English Learner students. Compared to high-performing schools in the adjacent Walnut Valley Unified district, like Walnut Elementary, the differences in academic results and attendance are stark, highlighting the impact of broader district-level factors.
