Elementary Schools in Compton Unified

Summary:

The Compton Unified School District in California is home to 21 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 786 out of 1,568 districts in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a closer look at the individual schools reveals a range of performance levels.

Among the standout schools in the district are Tibby Elementary, which is ranked 1,388 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars, significantly outperforming the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Laurel Street Elementary and Ronald E. McNair Elementary also stand out, with rankings of 1,872 and 1,981, respectively, and 3 out of 5 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

The data suggests that factors such as chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratios may be contributing to the disparities in school performance within the Compton Unified School District. Schools with lower absenteeism and more favorable resource allocation tend to perform better, highlighting opportunities for the district to focus its efforts on improving overall student outcomes by replicating the practices of the higher-performing schools.
