School Description and Mission Statement (School Year 2011-12)
This section provides information about the school, its programs and its goals.
The School Accountability Report Card was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters. As you read the
Report Card, you will gain a better understanding of Compton as a school with a record for improvement, a faculty that is
professionally skilled and personally committed to meeting the learning needs of students and a student body which is enthusiastic
and motivated to perform well.
Compton Junior High School, located in East Bakersfield, serves grades seven and eight. The Compton campus was established in
1960.
Compton Junior High consists of a pro-active collaboration of students, teachers, and administrators, support staff, parents and
community partners, committed to having students become lifelong learners. All members of this team are responsible and
accountable for expanding student potential through accelerated learning using current technology in a clean, safe, appealing school
environment, and emphasizing school pride and self-respect.
