Summary

Tibby Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 554 students in the Compton Unified district, and it stands out as a rapidly improving and high-achieving school in the area.

The school has made impressive gains, rising to rank in the 77th percentile statewide, and its students are performing significantly better in English and Math than both the district and state averages. A key factor in this success is an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.7%, far better than the district and state, which points to strong student engagement. Tibby Elementary is particularly effective, earning 4- and 5-star ratings, with students from low-income families and other key student groups. Interestingly, it achieves these strong results while spending less per student than several nearby schools like McKinley Elementary and Rosecrans Elementary.

When compared to other local schools, Tibby is part of a notable cluster of high performers that includes Laurel Street Elementary and Ronald E. McNair Elementary. The contrast is stark with a nearby charter, KIPP Compton Community, which has much lower academic scores and a very high chronic absenteeism rate. Areas for growth at Tibby include science proficiency, which lags behind the state average, and supporting Special Education students. Overall, Tibby Elementary represents a consistent success story of strong academic outcomes and remarkable student attendance within the community.
