Summary

In Compton, California, KIPP Compton Community is a K–8 school serving 783 students. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were well below California’s in every reported subject: 24% in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 18% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important concern is that the school is near the bottom of nearby schools in ELA and math, with only one nearby school scoring lower in each.

Science is the school’s relative bright spot, though it still falls short: its 18% proficiency was 10 percentage points below the nearby-school average, compared with gaps of 23 points in ELA and 28 points in math. ELA is its largest gap against the state, at 26 points below; math is furthest below the local average. Only Barack Obama Charter scored lower than the school in ELA and math, while Barack Obama Charter and Carver Elementary scored lower in science. The supplied data do not include proficiency results for KIPP Compton Community District; Compton Unified results are not a district comparison because it is not the school’s district.

ELA has improved, rising from 17% in 2022–23 to 24% in 2025–26, and its gap with the state narrowed from 30 to 26 percentage points. Math fell from 20% to 16%, widening its state gap from 15 to 23 points. Chronic absenteeism also improved, from 58% in 2022–23 to 38% in 2025–26, but remained well above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places the school in the 7th statewide percentile with 0 stars; the district is in the 4th percentile with 0 stars. In 2024–25, 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 24.7. One notable group result is that SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well the school serves students receiving special education fell from 53 in 2023–24 to 14 in 2025–26, a 39-point drop.
