Covina-Valley Unified

The Covina-Valley Unified School District in California serves 17 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with several standout elementary schools as well as some lower-performing options.

Among the top-performing schools are Mesa Elementary, Manzanita Elementary, and Rowland Avenue Elementary, all of which rank in the top 1,500 elementary schools in California and have 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools consistently demonstrate high proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, Fairvalley High (Continuation) stands out as the district's lowest-performing school, with very low proficiency rates and a high dropout rate.

Across the district, graduation rates are generally strong, with South Hills High and Northview High reporting 98.5% four-year graduation rates. However, chronic absenteeism is an issue, particularly at Fairvalley High (Continuation), where the rate reaches 68.3%. The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower proficiency rates.
