Summary

KIPP Compton Community is a K-8 public charter school serving 783 students in Compton, California, operating within the KIPP Compton Community District.

The school faces significant academic and attendance challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages and a chronic absenteeism rate of 41.5%, which is more than double the state average. Its statewide ranking places it in the bottom 10% of all California schools, and this performance has declined in recent years. While the school spends a similar amount per student as others in the area, its outcomes are notably different from many nearby schools in the Compton Unified district, such as Tibby Elementary and Ronald E. McNair Elementary, which achieve much higher proficiency and have dramatically lower absenteeism.

Key insights suggest that improving student attendance could be a critical first step for academic improvement at KIPP Compton Community. The school's performance is also weaker in upper elementary grades, particularly in math. Parents may want to consider how the school's large size and its performance trajectory compare to other local options, including traditional public schools and other charters like Barack Obama Charter, which faces similar challenges.
