Summary

Crestview Elementary serves 373 students in grades K–6 in Vandenberg AFB, California, near Lompoc and other communities on the Central Coast. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were close to California’s averages, and it ranked among the stronger nearby schools. The key concern is that its standing has slipped over time even as it remains a local high performer: its SchoolDigger statewide ranking fell from the 80th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 60th in 2025–2026.

Math is Crestview’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, its district, and the state. In 2025–2026, 41% of students were proficient in math—about 3 percentage points above the state and 21 above Lompoc Unified; Crestview ranked second among nine nearby schools with current scores. ELA proficiency was 49%, roughly at the state average and 18 points above the district, while science was 37%, about 1 point above the state and 14 above the district. Crestview ranked third locally in ELA and science. Its results were also well above the nearby-school averages in all three subjects. By grade, sixth-grade ELA stands out: 62% were proficient, compared with 48% statewide; fourth-grade ELA was weaker at 36%, below the state’s 46%.

Recent results have weakened: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Crestview’s proficiency fell by 5 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 8 in science, while state results rose in each subject. Science dropped especially sharply in the latest year, from 47% to 37%. SchoolDigger rates Crestview at the 60th percentile and 3 stars statewide. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 20.7 in 2024–2025, and 28% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest reported share among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking is a relative strength for Hispanic students (79th percentile) and notably lower for White students (15th percentile); these rankings describe how well the school serves each group, not the students themselves.

Crestview's test scores look very good, but I think it should be noted that this school has a limited number of second language learners and special education students compared to other schools in this district. The principal is notorious for quickly transferring children that have special needs out of his school; it is assumed by many that this is simply so that these children do not negatively affect the test scores of his school. If you have children with special needs, do not waste time dealing with this principal. You will waste your child's precious time. Close Quote
