GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Compton High is a good high school. The teachers at the school cares about their students heath and their grade so the students can past the class. The class have ac and have the class warm or cold. The teachers do teach their students and help them with homework or classwork. The teacher are friendly. The food there is good and heathy and they have lunch and breakfast. Right now theres Covid so the high school have heathy and space out the desk and they shields around the desk and have extra mask if they don't the students don't have one. The real campus is getting rebuild and it will look good.

My school provides the students with the material need it. We have computers in our classes the teaches help us if we don't understand. Also, my director and teachers help us if we are having trouble in or life just like our counselors. They provide us with a better understanding and get why we struggle sometimes. I feel like in school I have a second home with people that understand and are there to take care of me.
