Covington High School ranks lowest among the three, at 410th of 795 schools (48th percentile, 2 stars) — below the district's 59th percentile — but its graduation rate is 100.0%, matching the district. Humanities and science results are above state levels, including American History at 79.4% versus 73.2% and English II at 70.4% versus 62.7%. Mathematics is the clear weak spot: Integrated Math II reached 14.3% in 2025–2026 versus the state's 35.3%, following 0% in 2024–2025.
