Summary

Kirby Dorothy Camp is a 64-student school serving grades 7–12 in Commerce, California. Its biggest concern is very low test proficiency: in 2025–2026, 6% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 0% in math, far below district and state rates.

On the latest tests, Kirby trailed the Los Angeles County Office of Education district and the state by 40 and 43 percentage points in ELA, and by 24 and 38 points in math. Nearby comparisons also show weak results: in 2024–2025, Kirby’s ELA proficiency was 11%, above only Monterey Continuation among nearby schools with scores; math was 0%, tied with Monterey, and Kirby’s 6% science result was the lowest among nearby schools reporting a score. Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–2026, compared with 19% in the district and 18% statewide. The graduation rate was 75%, below the district’s 82% and the state’s 88%; the dropout rate was 25%, versus 8% in both comparisons. Kirby’s 2025–2026 science result is suppressed, so it cannot be compared.

Math proficiency remained at 0% in each of the four reported years, while ELA fluctuated—5%, 0%, 11%, then 6%—rather than improving steadily. SchoolDigger ranked Kirby at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 12th percentile and 1 star the year before. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 8.7, the second lowest among nearby schools with data. Kirby reported that 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California’s statewide free-meals policy also applies, and this figure is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals. One subgroup ranking stands out: SchoolDigger placed Hispanic students at the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 20th percentile in 2022–2023, a sharper decline than the school’s overall ranking over that period.
