We ❤️ Gompers Preparatory Academy!
The journey to Gompers Preparatory Academy .... a lot of hard work went into getting the doors of GCMS open in 2005.
The primary reason Gompers Preparatory Academy converted from a failed district union school (under the SDEA) was to sever ties with the union therby escaping the failed bureaucracies that made Gompers one of the most dangerous and low performing schools in the city. Escaping the union was the best option, and it worked!

According to Gompers Preparatory Academy teacher retention was rate is 85%-90% each year. Under the SDEA, teacher retention plummeted. As of September 2021, there are still 25 vacancies.

at: LISA YOUNG (GOMPERS CHARTER MIDDLE SCHOOL): Our students are basically just dying in their seats at school. They're not getting the education they deserve. And the union puts up a barrier for that. JOHN STOSSEL: These San Diego teachers fought to make their schools charter. Charter means they're still a public school, but they're free of many of the rules set up by school boards and unions. Now when a teacher's hired, she knows if she doesn't do a good job, she can be fired.
