While many attendees were familiar with dual enrollment—where scholars take college courses while in high school—they were struck by the extraordinary impact at Compton Early College. The school proudly maintains a 100% graduation rate, 100% college acceptance rate, and 100% A–G completion rate. An impressive 81% of CEC scholars have earned an AA degree and/or completed the IGETC, and 74 students (61%) double majored, graduating with two AA degrees.
