West Covina High School

The problems with overcrowding and poor quality students continues still today. Importing kids from Baldwin Park, La Puente and Bassett is taking West Covina High School down to the level of BP or Bassett High Schools. Nobody moves their kids to those schools because they reflect the city they are in. West Covina district officals need to look out for the students of the parents that live in West Covina first. Reduce the overcrowding and influx of troublemakers, only then can you offer a quality education.

Good communication with parents. They have a great on-line system for parents to review the student's grades, attendance, etc...

I once taught at WCHS, and having taught at 3 diff't HS, I can safely conclude that it is a school with great potential. That's the reason why it became a distinguish school with the right leadership of Mr. Coombs. The potential was always there. The school just needed the right guidance WCHS has great kids, especially those who are involved in academics and activities. I've seen students come in as immature/naughty freshmen and leave as mature young adults. It's a great nourishing ground for students who wants to succeed and grow. However, as with all school, there are also bad kids, due to the high diversity of the school. The school will need to find solutions to suppress all these bad kids from running the school. Believe me, I've seen enough rotten-spoiled kids at WCHS. To end on a good note, the college-prep courses are awesome!
