Fairvalley High (Continuation)

Summary:

Fairvalley High (Continuation) is a small public high school in Covina, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Covina-Valley Unified School District. However, the school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism that are well below the state and district averages.

Fairvalley High consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools, with only 2.27% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 49.85% and 23.3% for the Covina-Valley Unified district, respectively. The school also has a concerning dropout rate ranging from 5.7% to 23.1% and extremely high chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 73.7% in 2021-2022. These metrics are significantly worse than the nearby traditional high schools, such as Northview High, Covina High, and West Covina High, which outperform Fairvalley High on academic measures, graduation rates, and attendance.

The data suggests that Fairvalley High's predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population faces significant challenges, such as socioeconomic disadvantages and difficulties transitioning back to a traditional school setting. To address these issues, the school and the Covina-Valley Unified School District would likely benefit from targeted interventions, support services, and specialized programs to help these students succeed academically and personally.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
