Summary

KIPP Comienza Community Prep is a K–8 school in Huntington Park, serving 825 students in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency rates were above district and state results in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Its clearest distinction is science: it had the highest science result among the seven nearby tested schools in the district, with a particularly large lead over those peers.

The school is strongest in science and ELA compared with nearby schools, but its grade-level results are uneven. Its all-grade results were 52% in ELA, 42% in math and 45% in science. Among the nearby schools, it ranked first in ELA and science and second in math; its science result was 22 percentage points above the nearby-school average and 11 points above the next-best result. It also exceeded the state by 9 points in science, compared with 3 points in ELA and 4 in math. The overall picture hides two concerns: fourth-grade ELA was 33%, 13 points below the state and 14 below the district, while sixth-grade math was 30%, 8 points below each. Sixth-grade math was also the lowest among the four nearby schools with results, including Lucille Roybal-Allard Elementary and Florence Avenue Elementary.

SchoolDigger’s overall standing has declined over time, although the school remains near the top of its local group: it fell from the 98th percentile in 2015–2016 and 83rd in 2017–2018 to the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, just above Florence Avenue’s 60th percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic Students is a notable strength: the group’s 78th-percentile standing is 17 points above the school’s overall percentile, though it has fallen from 96 in 2017–2018. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, below the district’s 23% and state’s 18%. The school’s historical figures are a 19.7 student-teacher ratio and 94% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2017–2018; these are not current comparisons, and only one year of test results was supplied, so test-score trends cannot be assessed.
