GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's a very good school. It has its own special atmosphere that makes you feel like it's a good learning environment. This school is based on many traditions and gives a real high school experience.

Covington High School has amazing teachers who are eager to get the education across to the students. I would probably only change the time of the school day to make the school get out earlier.

Covington High School is a school where the students' success depends on who the student is and how active they are in the community. My overall experience was pretty positive considering I was able to be a part of many programs within the school system. With this being said, the administration is still lacking in their own department. The overall effects of administration at CHS are negative on students' appeal to the school. This really puts a damper on the school system as a whole.
