Summary:

Lindbergh Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lynwood, California, serving 586 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lynwood Unified School District, which has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Lindbergh Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio is also higher than nearby schools. When compared to nearby public schools like Rosa Parks Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Mark Twain Elementary, as well as nearby charter schools like ISANA Achernar Academy and Soleil Academy Charter, Lindbergh Elementary's performance is consistently lower across various metrics.

Lindbergh Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, and the school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Lindbergh Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
