Summary

Lindsey Academy is a middle school in Long Beach, serving grades 6–8 with 684 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 40% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 16% in science. The most important concern is science: Lindsey’s rate was 20 percentage points below California’s and 15 points below Long Beach Unified’s.

ELA is Lindsey’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby schools, while science is its weakest. ELA proficiency was 9 points below the state and 11 below the district; math was 13 and 15 points below, respectively. Among eight nearby schools with results, Lindsey ranked fifth of nine including Lindsey in ELA, fourth-lowest in math, and second-lowest in science. Those nearby schools averaged 43% in ELA, 30% in math, and 24% in science, putting Lindsey 3, 5, and 8 points below those averages. The science comparison is especially notable, though nearby results vary widely.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 8 points, math 10, and science 5. The gaps with the state narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 7 in math, but widened by 1 point in science. SchoolDigger ranks Lindsey in the 36th percentile with 2 stars for 2025–2026, up from the 25th percentile and 1 star in 2022–2023; six of eight nearby schools rank higher. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a notable difference: English Language Learner Students were at the 59th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with Lindsey’s 28th-percentile overall ranking that year, while Homeless Students’ ranking fell from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 31st in 2025–2026. These group rankings are relative measures, and the English learner result is not as recent. In 2024–2025, 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 21.0.
