On behalf of the Compton Unified School District Governing Board, I welcome you. The goal of our school district is to provide all students with a quality education that prepares them for college and career readiness.
The Compton Unified School District currently serves approximately 23,000 students. We are now focused on our #Elevate campaign. Our District has achieved tremendous success, inclusive of two National Blue Ribbon Schools, several California Distinguished Schools and Title I Achieving Schools that have been recognized for their success in closing the achievement gap.
Our high schools have been recognized for their success related to increased graduation rates, which are now approaching 90%. We are preparing more students than ever to exercise their options related to college and careers.
Our elementary schools have a robust offering in the area of STEM, science, technology, engineering, math, robotics, coding and Project Lead the Way. All middle schools within our District offer Project Lead the Way to provide project based learning opportunities to students in STEM. Robotics programs are an integral component of all secondary program.
Our Early College Program for high school students is performing above the state on state standards. This program provides students with an opportunity to concurrently complete their high school diploma, and earn their Associate Arts Degree upon graduation from high school.
There are several opportunities for involvement at your school site and on District Committees. There is a direct correlation between parent involvement and student achievement. We look forward to your participation within our district, which may include the following: PTA, School Site Council, ELAC and District level committees such as the District Advisory Committee (DAC) and the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC).
We are committed to providing a quality education to all students with a focus on preparing them for choices related to their future. I encourage you to become actively involved in the mission of the school district. We look forward to your involvement as a partner in the education of “all” children.
On behalf of the Governing Board and all employees within the Compton Unified School District, we wish you a productive and meaningful journey in the education of your child.
Dr. Darin Brawley
Superintendent
