Summary

Compton Avenue Elementary serves 265 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Los Angeles and is part of Los Angeles Unified. SchoolDigger placed it at the 59th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 41st percentile the year before. Its results are uneven across subjects, but the clearest takeaway is that mathematics is a standout strength: proficiency was well above state, district, and nearby K–5 averages.

In 2025–2026, 54% of students were proficient in math, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district; the result was also 21 points above the average for nearby K–5 schools and second-highest among those schools. Science is the biggest concern: 18% were proficient, 18 points below the state and 14 below the district, as well as 6 points below the nearby K–5 average. ELA proficiency was 46%, below the state and district overall but above nearby K–5 schools on average. Third grade was especially strong: ELA proficiency was 66% and math was 71%, both the highest among nearby schools with results for that grade. In fifth grade, ELA was 32%, 17 points below the state.

Results in all three subjects rose from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA increased 18 points, math 16 points, and science 14 points. Even after its improvement, science remains well below the state. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose 18 percentile points, from 41 to 59, and its rating improved from 2 to 3 stars. Its ranking for how well the school serves Hispanic students was notably higher: the group’s 78th-percentile ranking was 19 points above the school’s overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, the lowest among the nearby same-district schools and below both state and district rates. In 2024–2025, 96% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch; the student–teacher ratio was 18.2, close to the nearby same-district average of 18.4. These figures provide context, not explanations for the test results.
