Summary

Lompoc High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 and 1,593 students in Lompoc, California. Its 2025–2026 test results show a clear local strength in science, but math is its largest concern: proficiency was 13%, 26 percentage points below the state.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with its district and nearby peers. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 27%, about 5 points above Lompoc Unified and 6 points above the average for four comparable nearby high schools. ELA was 30%, close to the nearby-school average but 20 points below the state; math was 13%, also close to the peer average, but 8 points below the district and 26 below the state. The school ranked third of five in each subject among those nearby high schools. Other indicators are more encouraging: graduation was 90%, 2 points above the state, while chronic absenteeism was 22%, 4 points above the state. The dropout rate was 5%, compared with 8% statewide.

Science proficiency rose 6 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and its gap with the state narrowed. ELA rose by less than 1 point and math by 2 points over that period, while state results improved more; math has also fallen from its 15% peak in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger ranked Lompoc at the 31st statewide percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, in the middle of the nearby high-school group; its percentile was 53 in 2016–2017. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.5, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students was at the 16th percentile, below its overall 31st; its homeless-student measure fell from the 75th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 19th in 2025–2026. Subgroup sample sizes are not provided, and the school’s 12th-grade science result was suppressed.
