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.

My best experiences were the rallies and football games. They had a lot of spirit and it was fun to watch. The restrooms and food could be changed. In the restrooms majority of the time there isn't pads or toilet paper, it's dirty, etc. As for the food, they've made some improvement but it's not the best.

Honestly this school is a great place for people who are looking to take advantage of opportunities, there are many. However it is easy to get caught up in illegal substances and gangs are very very common, if your child is responsible and mature enough to handle himself and this environment, they'll be fine.

I liked attending this school, my experience is overall good, the teachers are mostly willing to help students when they ask for help and the academics are usually fun and didactic. This High School should improve their food since they don't have many food options and sometimes the students can misbehave.

Dr. Park is providing these young adults with opportunities for the future. Takes an outside the box approach to education.

West Covina High School provides many opportunities for students to engage with the school, not only through academics (which there are many Advanced Placement courses) but also many sports, arts programs, technology, and a very active ASB. The student community is overall very supportive of each ot...
