Summary

Green T. Lindon Elementary School in Youngsville, LA, is a high-performing public school serving 719 students in grades PK-5 within the Lafayette Parish school district, consistently earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight of the last nine years and ranking 42nd out of 690 elementary schools statewide (94th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its remarkable consistency and exceptional performance across all subjects, particularly in Social Studies where 79% of students are proficient—far exceeding the district (60%) and state (55%) averages. While nearby schools like Milton Elementary School (ranked 25th) and Cecil Picard Elementary School at Maurice (ranked 44th) are also top performers, Green T. Lindon has never ranked lower than 56th in the state over the past decade, maintaining a 92nd percentile or higher for nine consecutive years. This stability is a key differentiator from its closest geographic rival, Ernest Gallet Elementary School, which dropped from the 95th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026. Green T. Lindon outperforms Ernest Gallet in every subject (Math: 88% vs 73%, ELA: 86% vs 80%, Social Studies: 79% vs 67%) and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (13.4% vs 16.9%), solidifying its position as the premier elementary school in Youngsville.

Another standout feature is the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4% in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 24.0% and the state's 22.5%. This is notably better than nearby high-performers like Woodvale Elementary School (16.4%) and Cecil Picard (15.7%). The school also demonstrates exceptional performance with its low socio-economic status (SES) students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide for this subgroup despite a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 47.71%. This suggests highly effective strategies for closing achievement gaps. Additionally, Green T. Lindon achieves top-tier results with a student-teacher ratio of 20.9, the highest among its immediate high-performing peers, indicating efficient instructional practices and strong classroom management.
