Summary:

ZIP code 93247 has three high schools in Lindsay Unified: Lindsay Senior High and John J. Cairns Continuation serve grades 9–12, while Lindsay Community Day serves grades 7–12. Enrollment ranges from 14 students at Community Day to 1,132 at Lindsay Senior. The clearest difference in the latest reported test results is the wide achievement gap between Lindsay Senior and Cairns.

Lindsay Senior stands out at the top among schools with reported scores: in 2025–26, it reached 63% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math and 45% in science, leading Cairns by 47, 36 and 37 percentage points, respectively. Lindsay Senior was above the state in ELA and science, but 2 points below it in math. Cairns was the lowest-scoring school with reported results, below the state by 33 points in ELA, 38 in math and 28 in science. Its 96% graduation rate was a bright spot, but chronic absenteeism was 61%, compared with 18% statewide. Community Day had a 36% graduation rate, 52 points below the state; usable test results were unavailable for comparison.

Recent results were mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Lindsay Senior gained 10 points in science and 2 in math, while its ELA score slipped 1 point; Cairns gained 4 points in science, held steady in math and fell 8 points in ELA. SchoolDigger’s rating was 4 stars for Lindsay Senior and 0 for Cairns; its statewide percentile ranking rose from 59 to 74, while Cairns’ fell from 19 to 10. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 86% at Lindsay Senior and 88% at Cairns, a close comparison alongside very different scores; these figures are context, not an explanation. Ratios were 19.8 students per teacher at Lindsay Senior and 10 at Cairns. Community Day’s small enrollment and different grade span make direct comparisons more limited.
