Dominguez High School is a very great school here in Compton. Ever since my freshman year I do believe I have receive the help and support that I need to be college and career ready. From teachers to administrators to counselors, they have all been very supportive to keep going and help out when needed and whenever I tend to be struggling with anything.

My overall experience was okay. Without the support of my mom I don't think I would have made it. The teachers were not supportive at all. I would like to see a change in teacher support and more options with electives.
