Gompers

Summary:

Gompers is an elementary school located in Lakewood, CA that serves 342 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, which is ranked 654 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Gompers has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Gompers generally performs better than the Long Beach Unified and California averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and special education students. However, Gompers has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.4% in 2020-2021 to 39.8% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Gompers performs better academically than some schools in the Bellflower Unified School District, such as Craig Williams Elementary. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Long Beach Unified District, like Holmes Elementary and MacArthur Elementary. Gompers also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
