Lyndon

Summary:

The Lyndon school district in Kansas consists of two schools - Lyndon Elementary and Lyndon High. While both schools have maintained above-average graduation rates, they have faced challenges in recent years, with declining statewide rankings and below-average test scores compared to the state.

Lyndon Elementary has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 222 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 372 out of 656 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be struggling compared to its peers. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population, and a higher student-teacher ratio, which could be impacting academic performance.

While Lyndon High has maintained a stronger statewide ranking, it has also declined from 71 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 163 out of 332 in 2024-2025. Both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, nearly 20%, which could be contributing to their lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges, particularly in the areas of attendance, academic achievement, and resource allocation, will be crucial for the Lyndon school district to improve outcomes for its students.
