Summary

West Covina High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to 1,756 students in the West Covina Unified district, known for its exceptionally high graduation rate and strong support for English learners.

The school's standout strength is ensuring students graduate, with a 98.7% graduation rate that is among the highest in the area, alongside a low chronic absenteeism rate. It also excels in English Language Arts, outperforming both its district and the state. However, math proficiency is a noted challenge, lagging behind many peers like Edgewood High and the state average. The school is remarkably effective for specific student groups, including English Language Learners and students from low-income backgrounds, but shows a performance gap where female students rank lower than male students.

Compared to nearby schools, West Covina High graduates students at a rate similar to the top-performing Mt. SAC Early College Academy and higher than Edgewood High, despite having larger class sizes and lower per-student spending. While its academic rank has dipped slightly in recent years, English scores have improved significantly. The school's overall profile is one of a community-focused institution that successfully keeps students on track to graduate, with a clear focus on improving math outcomes.
