Summary

Lindo Park Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 421 students in the Lakeside Union Elementary district, consistently ranking in the lower tier of California elementary schools.

Academic performance at Lindo Park is significantly below both state and district averages, with only about 28% of students proficient in English and 22% in math. This stands in stark contrast to higher-performing schools within the same district, such as Riverview Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, where proficiency rates are more than double. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 21% of students missing significant school time, a rate much higher than at these top district schools.

The school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, and its performance has declined over the past decade. Interestingly, the wide range of outcomes among schools in the Lakeside Union Elementary district—from Riverview (top tier) to Lemon Crest Elementary (similar to Lindo Park)—suggests that school-specific factors like attendance, culture, and instruction play a critical role alongside broader challenges.
