Lindbergh Elementary

Summary:

Lindbergh Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kansas City, Kansas, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 166 students. The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lindbergh Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 546 out of 653 schools in the 2023-2024 school year to 660 out of 678 schools in the 2014-2015 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.25% of Lindbergh students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.55% statewide and 14.33% in the Kansas City district. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Mathematics, where the proficiency rates are less than half the state averages.

Lindbergh Elementary's high rate of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch eligibility, which ranges from 86.1% to 92.17%, suggests that the school may face significant socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning and achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9:1 to 12:1, could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support to students, potentially leading to improved academic outcomes. Comparing Lindbergh to nearby schools, such as John F Kennedy Elementary and Turner Elementary, highlights the importance of factors beyond just the school district, and the school may be able to leverage its strengths in certain areas to drive overall improvement.

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.
