The City of Compton, California is a city fulled with culture. Taking a field trip to Compton would be a great opportunity to learn about people and places outside of our sheltered Chester County. Visiting High Schools such as Rodriguez High School where famous NBA players Tayshaun Prince, DeMar DeRozan, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Jennings would be a once in a life-time experience. Along with star athletes, Compton is the hometown of several hit musicians; for example, NWA released their hit album Straight Outta' Compton which peaked at 37 on the Top 100.
