Dominguez High School is a four-year secondary school located in Compton, California. It is part of the Compton Unified School District.
The school has been classified as a Program Improvement school since 1997 and faces corrective action by the state of California. In a recently published School Accountability Report Card, the school failed to meet Academic Performance Index (API) growth targets several years in a row; on an API scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, Dominguez High School achieved the lowest score possible compared both to other high schools and other similar schools. [1]
In 2002, a documentary was filmed about the Compton school's attempt to put on a theatrical drama in the midst of urban poverty titled OT: Our Town which was met with critical acclaim by Newsweek, The New York Times, and LA Weekly. The film was nominated for best documentary feature by the Independent Spirit Awards in 2003. [2]
Dominguez High is best known for its football and basketball teams which were named the best teams in the nation by USA Today in 2000.
