The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 11 and 28 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 11 students, one student is 9 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).

Lompoc Unified’s board decides Mission Valley’s plan.
When the plan is set
Lompoc Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
How to take part
- Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
- Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
- Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
- Read the midyear report, due by February 28.
State support
The state hasn’t placed Mission Valley in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
Extra state help for the district

Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Where the path ends: Lompoc High
An inferred path through a middle-school overlap points to Lompoc High. UC records 16 enrollees from Lompoc High for fall 2025. The AP Course Audit lists 6 AP courses its teachers are authorized to teach in 2025–26. Those figures come from dated records. If a child starting here today later attended Lompoc High, that would be around 2036, and a school can change a lot in 10 years. By the state’s 2023 count, 68% of the students who finished high school at Lompoc High enrolled in college within 12 months, UC or not.

Current 2025–26 grade results are under Academic achievement, in Results for each grade. “Students with scores” counts the students tested in that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero, and each year’s row is a different group of children.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8; here that is grade 8.

How the California mean was selected
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

| Total | $154,148,794 | 100.00% | 100% |
These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $154,148,794 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
