State Testing

In 2010 Clovis West High School attained an API of 852, placing the school towards the top of the California state high schools. Current results for the school's scoring are maintained at the California Standardized Testing And Reporting (STAR) Program.[2]

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.
