KIPP Compton Community District

KIPP Compton Community District has one school in the list, KIPP Compton Community, an elementary school serving kindergarten through grade 8 in the Compton area, with 783 students. The most important finding is that its 2025–26 proficiency rates were below state rates in every reported subject: 24% versus 49% in English language arts (ELA), 16% versus 38% in math, and 18% versus 36% in science.

There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this one-school group, but science was the school’s strongest subject relative to the state: its gap was 18 percentage points, compared with 23 in math and 26 in ELA. Grade 7 ELA was a relative bright spot within the school, with 37% proficient versus 51% statewide, a 13-point gap; in grades 3–6, ELA gaps ranged from about 25 to 27 points. That stronger grade 7 ELA result did not extend to math, where the school was at 12% versus 38% statewide, a 25-point gap.

Two-year changes were mixed rather than consistently upward: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, school ELA rose 1 percentage point, math fell 1 point, and science rose 4 points. The average gap to the state stayed about 22 points in both years. Chronic absenteeism was also notably higher than the state rate in 2025–26, at 38% versus 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking moved from the 16th percentile and 1 star in 2023–24 to the 7th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–26. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 24.7 in 2024–25 and 76% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.
