It is noted that Lompoc Unified School District schools and buildings are situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Chumash people. The Lompoc Unified School District strives to provide a quality education for all of its students with a wide range of programs, and with a talented staff dedicated to the needs of our students. The district serves around 9,700 students in grades TK-12 who are living in the city of Lompoc; the communities of Vandenberg Village, Mesa Oaks, Mission Hills; Vandenberg Air Force Base; and rural areas adjacent to these communities.

The school is proud of its California standards-based instructional programs. These instructional programs promote and ensure all students succeed in school and in their lifelong endeavors. We believe each student is capable of learning and is responsible for being an active part in their education. The school operates on a traditional calendar. We are honored to start the first District Dual Immersion Program, as well as transitional kindergarten.
