Summary

Rosecrans Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 459 students in the Compton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall academic ranking is below average, it has achieved a remarkable success story by dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism from over 30% to just 2.8%, a rate that is better than most nearby schools like Jefferson Elementary (6.8%) and Mayo Elementary (10.0%), and demonstrates the school's strong focus on student engagement. The school also shows notable strengths in supporting English Language Learners and Hispanic students, where its performance ranks significantly higher than its overall score.

Academic performance, however, is inconsistent, with 7th graders excelling in math while 8th graders struggle, and science scores are a particular area of concern. Compared to higher-performing schools in the same district with similar demographics, such as Tibby Elementary and Laurel Street Elementary, Rosecrans spends more per student but has not yet achieved the same level of academic outcomes, indicating room for improvement in how resources translate to classroom results.
