Summary

Lampson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 676 students in Garden Grove, part of the Orange Unified School District, which consistently ranks in the lower-middle tier of California elementary schools.

Academically, the school performs below both district and state averages, with only about a third of students proficient in English and a quarter in math; science scores are a particular challenge. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.3%, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Ocia A. Peters Elementary (13.9%) and Clinton Elementary (10.0%). Furthermore, Lampson spends significantly less per student ($15,926) than most surrounding schools in other districts, such as Parkview Elementary ($22,916) in Garden Grove Unified.

Strikingly, nearby schools with very similar student demographics achieve much stronger results, suggesting district-level factors may influence outcomes. For instance, Ocia A. Peters Elementary has nearly identical rates of economic disadvantage but achieves 60.65% proficiency in English compared to Lampson's 33.8%. Performance has been volatile for specific student groups and historically flat, with the school maintaining a 2-star rating for over a decade without sustained improvement.
