I joined Compton Early College High School in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic. At the time and still to this day, my school has been 6-12, so we have middle school and high school here. Over the years, I have learned a lot and had had fun with my learning. My scool have really prepared me for my future and I hope they will continue to do so for years to come.

My experience is Compton early college has gone well. I've made many great friends and experiences but some things could be better. Like the restrooms and things like that but the school is great for academic opportunities and college readiness.

Great academics but teachers aren't always the best. Campus is small and old. Great for college readiness.
