Summary

Lindbergh Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 482 students. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Lindbergh Elementary has consistently received a 1-star rating, indicating it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Lindbergh Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with students consistently underperforming compared to district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Arizona elementary schools for Hispanic, White, and Special Education students, and in the bottom 50% for African American, Multi-racial, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Lindbergh has relatively low per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which may be contributing factors to its underperformance.

In comparison, the nearby Franklin Accelerated Academy - East Campus is a high-performing school ranked in the top 5% of Arizona elementary schools. Other nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary and Keller Elementary, also outperform Lindbergh in academic metrics. Addressing the challenges at Lindbergh Elementary, including improving funding and resources, will be crucial for the school to better serve the needs of its diverse student population and improve its overall performance.

I am very upset to learn that the sixth grade teacher of whom I am not a fan, is shunning students, not allowing them to attend the end of year celebration party. She has installed a point system, if the child does not meet her requirements the students will not be allowed to attend the party, they will be ostracized, banned to another room while she and students have a party. This is no way to treat kids with delicate self esteems, setting them up to be targets of bullying I have never heard of such a thing. Grades and points should be a private matter between student and teacher this is a horrible practice. Not only is this a failing school ranked in the bottom it is no wonder. Close Quote
