Summary:
The city of Lyndon, Kansas is home to a single high school, Lyndon High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from a high of 71st out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 163rd out of 332 schools in 2024-2025.
Lyndon High's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in certain subject areas, such as English Language Arts (ELA) in 2023-2024, where proficiency rates were above the state averages for both 10th grade and all grades. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates have been below the state averages in recent years. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rates have been a mix, with the 11th grade rate being below the state average and the all-grades rate being above the state average in 2023-2024.
The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (31.2% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite this, Lyndon High has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 and a per-student spending that is slightly above the state average, which could contribute to a more personalized learning environment and adequate resource allocation. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, suggesting a need to address attendance and engagement issues.
