Compton Performing Arts Academy
To ensure all our graduates have the option to enroll directly into a university and be prepared for a career, Compton Performing Arts Academy has implemented a College and Career Readiness A-G course curriculum for all students.
Among “A-G” courses available to students are: Advanced Placement (AP) courses and Career Technical Education (CTE) courses. We have aligned our graduation requirements with the California State University (CSU) A-G requirements. Students must earn a grade of "D" or better in "A-G" courses, and meet California Department of Education Requirements as well as satisfying additional CPAA requirements for graduation.
The Compton Performing Arts Academy high school diploma is designed to be a document that gives students the choice to transition straight into a college or into a career of their choice.
