Covina High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 577 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 to 969 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars in 2018-2019 and 2011-2012 to 3 stars in recent years. In comparison, nearby schools like South Hills High and West Covina High have maintained a 3-star rating in recent years. Covina High's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian students ranking lower compared to Hispanic and White students.

Covina High has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.8% to 97.4% in recent years, but its academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is generally below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.2% in 2018-2019 to 20.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the rates at nearby schools. Additionally, Covina High has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent neighboring schools, such as Mt. SAC Early College Academy at West Covina.

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.
