Welcome
Compton Early College (CEC) in partnership with Compton College is in its eighth year of operation. Established in 2015 as a senior high school, CEC has incorporated a middle school and spans grades 6-12. An early college's purpose is to provide students with an opportunity to earn an AA (Associate of Arts Degree) and/or IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Certificate) while also earning their high school diploma.

The annual ranking ranks schools based on factors such as graduation rates and academic performance. Since its first senior class, Compton Early College has had a 100% graduation rate and a 100% four-year college acceptance rate every year. Compton Early College High School ranked #32 in the state of California and #280 in the entire United States.
