Compton GEAR UP

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP)-Compton is a federally funded outreach program that was recently awarded on October of 2018 to California State University Dominguez Hills in partnership with the Compton Unified School District and Compton College. The program is a 7-year dual-cohort program, which services both the 6th & 7th grade classes at our 4 designated target schools below:

鈥� Roosevelt Middle School

鈥� Whaley Middle School

鈥� Kelly Elementary

鈥� Roosevelt Elementary School

Currently we service a total of 848- 6th and 7th grade students from the abovementioned target schools. In the near future, our program will service this same cohort of 6th & 7th grade students as they enter Dominguez High School and into their first year of undergraduate education.

Goals:

As outlined by our grant, the goals of the GEAR UP Compton grant aim to reduce the need for remedial education, increase access to rigorous curricula and to ultimately create a college going culture within the community and our target schools in Compton.

Goal 1: Increase the academic performance and preparation for post-secondary education of GEAR UP students.

Goal 2: Increase the rate of high school graduation and enrollment into post-secondary education of GEAR UP students.

Goal 3: Increase GEAR UP students and their family鈥檚 knowledge of post-secondary education options, preparation and financing.听
