[edit] State Testing

[edit] 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 provides a discliplined learning climate for all students. When asked how well Clovis West personnel have done in creating a positive school climate, a strong percentage of parents rated the school as "Satisfactory" or higher on the SART Survey. Clovis West has nearly 30 clubs and organizations which act as a basic foundation to promote a positive learning environment and increase student participation.
Clovis West implemented the Freshmen Academy in 2002-2003. This academy provides better transition opportunities to incoming students with two counselors (Janet Duke & Bill Leavitt) to focus solely on freshmen and with Link Crew leaders to offer peer support.
