Leonora Fillmore Elementary

Public Grades K-6

5273^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 10% of California elementary schools

Summary

Leonora Fillmore Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 469 students in the Lompoc Unified district, located in a community with significant economic need where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with test scores in English, Math, and Science significantly below state averages and ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools. This performance is notably lower than other schools in the same district, such as Crestview Elementary and Buena Vista Elementary, where proficiency rates are often 25 to 40 percentage points higher. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with more than one in five students missing a significant amount of school, a rate much higher than some neighboring schools.

An interesting finding is that Fillmore receives more funding per student than some higher-performing schools in the district, yet outcomes remain low, highlighting a complex relationship between resources and results. There are slight signs of recent improvement in attendance and English scores, and performance varies greatly by grade level. The contrast within Lompoc Unified is stark, showing that schools serving students with fewer economic resources, like Clarence Ruth Elementary and La Canada Elementary, face similar academic struggles, while schools like Manzanita Public Charter in a different district show stronger results with a similar-sized, moderate-need population.
