The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a senior attending Nova Academy Early College High School Coachella, I am proud to say that the ride has been great. I have fun while being at school and have awe social interactions with teachers and students. Overall, this High School has molded me and shaped me into becoming the person I am today.

NOVA Academy at coachella is the most comforting and welcoming school. The staff offer so much help during school and after school hours. Not only are the staff very supportive but you definitely find some people along the way that encourage you to do your best.

At Nova Academy, I have been able to find a second home. When I first came to Nova my sophomore year, I was a little lost, I thought I didn't fit in. A few days later the teachers began to notice that I was a little lost, so they decided to make me feel comfortable. Nova Academy has helped me improve my grades, obtain the help I need, and has helped me come out of my shell. Before coming to high school, I was really shy, I was not capable of giving out presentations in front of a classroom, but thanks to Nova I can do presentations in front of the class without studdering.

If you are considering entering the school or enrolling your child here, they honestly have to be willing to come with an attitude willing to respect others and to learn. Otherwise, it will not work for them. I am about to graduate from this school and have enjo...
