GreatSchools Rating
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.

I have loved going to Covington High for my years as a high schooler. I am looking forward to being fully prepared for college because of Covington High.

Covington High was a good school. They have honors, AP , and dual enrollment classes. The buildings were nice and there was a multitude of athletic teams. The teachers are willing to help you if you are willing to apply yourself. I took honors and dual enrollment classes there and learned quite a lot.

I came into High School ready to play football and the team was just not team related. So I ran track and was very good at it and love my teammates. However this year there is hardly a track team. I really wanted to hone my craft and get noticed by coaches but I am having to figure this all out on my own. I wish the coaches put more stake into people that are true team players and less time into just one or two people.
