Lyndon

The two schools in Lyndon serve different grade spans: Lyndon Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade 8 and has 294 students, while Lyndon High serves grades 9–12 and has 124. Because the schools serve different grades, their all-grade results are not direct comparisons of the same tested grades. The most important area-wide pattern is that the two-school average in English language arts moved from 6 points below the state to 1 point above it, while the average in math fell farther behind, from 3 points below to 5 points below.

Lyndon Elementary stands out in 2025–26 all-grade English language arts and science: its 55% in English language arts was 16 points above Lyndon High, and its 51% in science was 30 points higher. It also exceeded state results in those subjects by 9 and 13 points, respectively. Lyndon High led the local all-grade math comparison, at 39% versus 34% for Lyndon Elementary, but both were below the 41% state result. Grade-level results show why school summaries do not tell the whole story: Lyndon Elementary sixth-grade math was 50%, above the state’s 41%, while seventh-grade math was 14%, 23 points below the state. At Lyndon High, tenth-grade math was 2 points above the state, but eleventh-grade science was 9 points below.

English language arts improved at both schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26: by 13 points at Lyndon Elementary and 4 points at Lyndon High, compared with a 1-point state increase. Math rose only 1 point at each school, less than the state’s 2-point gain. SchoolDigger’s reported ranking moved up from the 43rd to the 51st percentile for Lyndon Elementary, while Lyndon High moved down from the 51st to the 41st percentile. The schools’ student–teacher ratios are similar—12.9 and 12.4—while their reported free/reduced-lunch rates are 47% and 31%, respectively; these are useful context, not explanations of achievement.
