Emerson Elementary

Emerson Elementary serves PreK through 8th grade in Compton, a working-class city in the heart of Los Angeles County with a tight-knit, predominantly Latino and Black community that takes real pride in its neighborhood schools. The school shows some of its strongest numbers in English and Math relative to its local peers, making it a solid option for families in the 90221 zip code who want a consistent K-8 experience without the transition to a separate middle school. Families rooted in the area who value stability and a school that knows their kids by name over multiple years will feel at home here.
