School Overview

Coronado High School, located in West Covina, California, is a continuation high school within the West Covina Unified School District. Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, Coronado is designed to serve students who may benefit from a more flexible, personalized, and supportive educational environment. The school’s primary mission is to help students who have fallen behind in credit accrual get back on track toward graduation, providing them with the necessary resources and individualized attention to overcome academic or personal challenges.

The school environment at Coronado is typically characterized by smaller class sizes and a focused curriculum that prioritizes credit recovery and vocational preparation. By offering an alternative pathway to a high school diploma, the school aims to re-engage students, boost their academic confidence, and prepare them for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning to a community college, a trade program, or the workforce. It serves as a vital community resource for students seeking a second chance to complete their education in a setting tailored to their specific needs.
