Cost Overview
Most Compton College families pay around $11,000 annually after aid, regardless of income level. Students from families earning under $48,000 see costs drop slightly to about $10,650 per year. Even wealthy families making $75,000-$110,000 pay just $15,334 annually. Over two years, total costs run $21,000-$22,000 for most students.
Only 1.74% of students take federal loans, reflecting the school's affordability for working-class families. The college serves a predominantly Hispanic and Black student body, with 94% coming from California. Just 4% receive institutional grants averaging $6,927. With median earnings hitting $34,181 ten years after enrollment, graduates typically earn enough to justify even the higher costs paid by middle-income families.
The best deal goes to lower-income students who qualify for maximum federal aid. They get quality community college education and transfer preparation for about the same cost as textbooks at a four-year university.
