What Parents Should Know

At 61 students, Covina-valley Learning Options Academy is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Covina-valley Learning Options Academy runs 30.5:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.

59% of students at Covina-valley Learning Options Academy were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
