Summary:
This analysis covers 10 schools in Lindsay, California (zip code 93247), all part of the Lindsay Unified School District, serving grades K-12 in a high-need community.
The clear standout is Lindsay Senior High, which ranks in the top 30% of state high schools with an exceptional 96.3% graduation rate and strong English scores, outperforming both district and state averages. Among elementary schools, Washington Elementary is the highest performer, noted for its very low chronic absenteeism and solid math proficiency, while schools like Jefferson Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary face greater academic challenges.
The district also operates crucial alternative schools like John J. Cairns Continuation and Lindsay Community Day, which serve high-risk students with intensive support, resulting in very low student-teacher ratios but also very high chronic absenteeism. Overall, the district invests heavily per student, which correlates with success at the main high school, but math proficiency remains a challenge across most schools.
