Summary:

This analysis covers 11 schools in zip code 91791, located in West Covina, California, serving approximately 7,785 students across five elementary, two middle, and four high schools within the West Covina Unified and Covina-Valley Unified districts.

Standout schools include the exceptional Mt. SAC Early College Academy at West Covina, which has a near-perfect graduation rate and very low chronic absenteeism, and top elementary performers like Merced Elementary and Mesa Elementary, which achieve strong test scores. In contrast, Coronado High (Continuation) faces significant challenges with very high chronic absenteeism and low test scores, and Workman Avenue Elementary has the highest chronic absenteeism among elementary schools.

Key takeaways show a clear link between lower chronic absenteeism and higher academic performance across all schools. While high school graduation rates are excellent, a concerning trend is the decline in mathematics proficiency from elementary to middle and high school. The data also reveals that higher per-student spending does not automatically guarantee better outcomes, as some of the highest-performing schools operate with lower spending per student.
