Summary

Mt. SAC Early College Academy at West Covina is a high school serving 264 students in grades 9–12 in West Covina, within West Covina Unified. Its most striking feature is the sharp contrast among subjects: English and science results stand well above state and local comparisons, while math is below the state.

In 2025–2026, 83% of students were proficient in English, compared with 49% statewide, 47% in the district, and a 43% average among nearby schools; the school had the highest English result locally. Science showed a similar strength: 57% proficiency, versus 36% statewide, 31% in the district, and a 25% nearby-school average, again the local high. Math is the main academic concern: 29% proficiency was below the state’s 38% and the district’s 36%. The school ranked third among the 10 schools in the local comparison, and its result was above the nearby-school average of 21%.

Results have shifted over time, but all three subjects remain below their 2022–2023 levels: English is down 5 percentage points, math 27 points, and science 12 points. English and science rose in the latest year after earlier declines, while math fell from the prior year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 409th of 2,137 California schools, at the 81st percentile with four stars; it ranked at the 97th percentile in 2022–2023, but still leads nearby schools, whose percentiles range from 1 to 68. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings also fell recently: the male-student percentile dropped from 91 to 73, and the Hispanic-student percentile from 89 to 74 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.4, compared with a nearby average of 17.9; 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a nearby average of 79%. Graduation was 100% and chronic absenteeism 2% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% and 18% statewide.
