What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Covina High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

13.7% of students exceeded standard while 26.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 15.5%. That's 6.8 points below the Covina-Valley Unified district average of 20.5%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 13.2% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

The graduation rate is 97.2% — above the state target. 76.4% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 77.7% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 21.0%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
