Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Climbed from the 25th to the 39th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 700 elementary schools.
Most rating sites would stop at “22% proficient” and call it done. Arthur Hapgood deserves a closer read. Three in four of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: +13.1pp separates this year's grade 3 from its grade 5. The state average rises 4.6pp over the same span. Following the school's returning cohort from 2023 G3 → 2025 G5 points the same way.

Arthur Hapgood Elementary scores 32 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 39th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 22% meet the standard today, versus 32% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model splits here — the 13th percentile in reading against the 43rd in math, among elementary schools.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and its two subjects part company here. It puts this school around the 13th percentile of California elementary schools in reading and the 43rd in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 93rd. A gap that size between math and reading in one building is worth asking about directly — one year of data can't tell you whether it is the teaching, the cohort, or noise.
— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

— 3 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

Kids here miss more school, and get suspended less, than the state average.
TK/K students miss school at roughly one and a half times the rate of Grades 4–6 students (35.7% vs 21.9%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the earliest grades — worth asking how the school works with new families on attendance.
24.1% of students miss a month or more of school, versus 17.9% statewide. High absence often tracks community stress — worth asking about on a tour.

The road from this school ends at Lompoc High, which sent 16 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 6 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Lompoc High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 68% of Lompoc High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Worth a school visit
Ask what changed — new curriculum, new principal, new program. Momentum has a cause, and a visit will find it.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Arthur Hapgood Elementary a good elementary school?
Arthur Hapgood Elementary has a Scope Score of 32 out of 100, placing it in the 39th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #3,476 statewide. 7.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 13.7 percentage points below the California average of 21.4%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 3-to-5 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Arthur Hapgood Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 22.4% of students at Arthur Hapgood Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 7.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 14.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 7.6% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 589 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Arthur Hapgood Elementary rank in California?
Arthur Hapgood Elementary ranks #3,476 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 39th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G3 → 2025 G5), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Arthur Hapgood Elementary getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Arthur Hapgood Elementary that cohort is 2023 G3 → 2025 G5, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California elementary schools — roughly the 93rd percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the elementary Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Arthur Hapgood Elementary?
24.1% of students at Arthur Hapgood Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 1.2%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Arthur Hapgood Elementary compare to other schools in Lompoc?
Arthur Hapgood Elementary scores 32/100 (39th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 768 students. Use the schools in Lompoc page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Arthur Hapgood Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Arthur Hapgood Elementary in Lompoc, 21.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 25.1% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Arthur Hapgood Elementary trails its district average for low-income students by 3.8 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (17.2% Math proficient); Hispanic students (22.7% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 20.7 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 317 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What middle school does Arthur Hapgood Elementary feed into?
By attendance boundary, Arthur Hapgood Elementary is zoned to Lompoc Valley Middle. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25
Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 3 to grade 5. The test levels sit just under the state's.
The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 89 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

A closer look at the evidence
Arthur Hapgood Elementary: reading the evidence
Arthur Hapgood still trails on raw proficiency — and it's climbing faster than most schools anywhere near it — and that holds when you follow the school's own returning cohort across grades.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
Ask how many years the improvement has held, not just the latest one — one strong cohort and a real turnaround can look identical in a single year of data.

We show the grade rows CDE publishes for this school. A missing grade or dash can mean the school does not serve that grade, that we hold no valid result for it, or that the tested group was too small to report. It does not mean zero.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

- — Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 17 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
