Positive Learning Environment
The enrollment at CWHS during the 06-07 year was 2,690. CUSD receives reimbursement from the State of California for each student in attendance during an instructional day. Effective in 1998-1999, this reimbursement (apportionment) is based on actual attendance only, thus eliminating the distinction between "excused" and "unexcused" absences as in the past.
Clovis West implemented the Freshmen Academy in 2002-2003. This academy provides better transition opportunities to incoming students with two counselors to focus solely on freshmen and with Link Crew leaders to offer peer support.
