Summary:

ZIP code 90220 includes 13 schools serving elementary, middle, high school and alternative grades; most elementary schools serve K–8, while Compton High serves grades 9–12. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average results were about 51% in English language arts (ELA), 48% in math and 31% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that results vary widely from school to school: the highest-to-lowest gaps are about 35 points in ELA, 35 in math and 27 in science.

Laurel Street Elementary stands out in ELA and science, scoring 64% and 45%—about 14 and 9 points above the state figures—and has the second-highest math result. Tibby Elementary is also among the strongest, with the second-highest ELA and third-highest math results, including especially strong grade-level math in grades 3, 6, 7 and 8. Compton STEP has the highest all-grades math score at 64%, about 26 points above the state, but enrolls just 15 students. At the other end, Enterprise Middle has the lowest reported results in all three subjects: 29% in ELA and math and 18% in science, respectively about 20, 9 and 18 points below state figures.

Results generally improved from 2024–2025: school averages rose about 3 points in ELA, 9 in math and 14 in science. Gains were not universal; Bunche Middle made especially large gains in ELA and math—about 16 and 26 points—while Enterprise’s ELA fell 7 points and science fell 5. Income figures offer context, not an explanation: every school reporting a measure lists free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 80% at Compton STEP to 93% at Bunche. Ratios also differ, at 25.2 students per teacher at Bunche and 18.0 at Enterprise. Compton High combines a 97% graduation rate with science results below state figures in grades 11 and 12. Test results are suppressed for Compton Community Day High, and Compton STEP’s science result is also suppressed, so neither can be compared in those subjects.
