Three-out-of-four residents (74%) are satisfied with the
quality of community colleges in their area and seven-in-ten
(69%) are satisfied with the safety of their local
neighborhoods.
The problem lies with the lack of economic opportunity:
satisfaction regarding jobs and available economic
opportunities is upside-down, with more than half (56%) of
CCCD citizens saying they are unsatisfied. This level of
dissatisfaction is found across all age groups and ethnicities.

El Camino College has the highest mean rating among the three
institutions tested. All three have positive ratings, especially from
older residents and Hispanics.
El Camino College Compton Center gets its positive score from
favorable word-of-mouth mentions from former and current
students and their relatives, and from visible facility improvements
and renovations.
Its negative ratings result from people not being able to rate it or
not knowing enough about it to rate it favorably, or from those
who see the campus as having poor academics or a “high school
feel.”
When thinking of the campus the first things that come to mind
are that the school is local and convenient but also crowded with
few course offerings.

A majority of voters (61%) have not heard anything about CCCD having their
accreditation revoked. Older residents are the most informed (51%), a typical finding
for most public affairs issues.
Among those who have heard something about El Camino College overseeing the
CCCD’s academic programs, the school’s name change and renovations are the top-
of-mind responses.
A very strong majority (80%) approve of El Camino College taking over CCCD’s
academic programs, saying it will be good for the community and will bring better
academics to the school and more opportunities for students.
Disapproval of the partnership stems from voters wanting the school to stay “local;”
they say the Compton community can’t identify as well with the El Camino College
brand.
Most residents (49%) feel things have gotten better since Compton Community
College became El Camino College Compton Center. Half (50%) of Blacks and
Hispanics agree.
Increased course offerings and renovations are key sources of positive feedback.

Over six-in-ten voters (61%) approve of passing a bond or
property tax increase to improve the CCCD facilities.
Most voters support a bond or property tax because it is
“necessary” and they would “do anything to support education.”
Local voters understand a better school means more
opportunities and jobs for graduating students and feel a bond or
property tax increase is an “investment” in the local community.
A majority (55%) of those who do not support the bond or
property tax do so because they feel they are taxed enough as it
is; only a small percentage (12%) are against the bond or property
tax increase because they feel monies raised will be mismanaged.

This level of dissatisfaction is found across all age groups and ethnicities. 4
Overall, residents are satisfied with the quality of community colleges in their area, but feel jobs are lacking. 13234 ~ Compton Community College District ~ June 24-27, 2013 13234 ~ Compton Community College District ~ June 24-27, 2013 Now, please tell me how satisfied you are with each of the following; would you say you are very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, not very satisfied, or not at all satisfied with 74% 69% 56% 39% 30% Not At All Satisfied (27%) Very Satisfied (29%) 19% Very Satisfied (26%) The quality of community colleges in your area The safety of your neighborhood The jobs and economic opportunities available in your area Total Satisfied Total Not Satisfied 5

El Camino College Compton Center 13234 ~ Compton Community College District ~ June 24-27, 2013 13234 ~ Compton Community College District ~ June 24-27, 2013 El Camino College has the highest mean rating among the three institutions tested. All three have positive ratings, especially from older residents and Hispanics. El Camino College Compton Center gets its positive score from favorable word-of-mouth mentions from former and current students and their relatives, and from visible facility improvements and renovations. Its negative ratings result from people not being able to rate it or not knowing enough about it to rate it favorably, or from those who see the campus as having poor academics or a high school feel. When thinking of the campus the first things that come to mind are that the school is local and convenient but also crowded with few course offerings. 8
