Summary

Lindbergh STEM Academy is a public middle school serving 421 students in grades 6-8 in the Long Beach Unified school district, located in an area where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science well below both the district and state averages. For example, only about 23% of students are proficient in Math, compared to nearly 39% in the district. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with over 27% of students missing too much school, which is higher than the district average. Interestingly, despite its STEM focus, science scores are the school's lowest area. When compared to nearby schools like Bancroft Middle or Hughes Middle, Lindbergh's academic performance is notably lower, even though it receives more funding per student and has a smaller average class size.

The school's performance has shown some improvement from pandemic lows but remains in the lower percentiles statewide. A notable comparison is Intellectual Virtues Academy, a charter school that achieves much higher test scores and has very low absenteeism, suggesting different school models can yield different results even within the same city. While Lindbergh serves a high-need population and has substantial resources, translating those resources into stronger student outcomes remains a key area for growth.
