Summary

Gompers Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 366 students in Lakewood, California, operating within the Long Beach Unified School District and performing around the state average academically.

The school has specific strengths, particularly in mathematics where student proficiency exceeds the state average, and it shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting specialized student populations like those in special education. However, it faces a significant challenge with science proficiency, which lags behind state and local averages. While the school spends more per student than several nearby schools in the district, such as MacArthur Elementary, this higher spending has not translated to superior overall academic results. Performance has also been somewhat volatile, with the school's statewide ranking declining after a recent high point.

Interesting comparisons emerge with nearby schools. For instance, Cleveland Elementary, also in Long Beach Unified and located very close by, achieves significantly higher proficiency rates. Just across district lines, schools like Stephen Foster Elementary in Bellflower Unified achieve comparable results with lower per-student spending, while Captain Raymond Collins in Paramount Unified faces greater challenges. A positive trend for Gompers is a strong recovery in student attendance, which has improved dramatically since the pandemic and is now better than the district average.
