Summary

Lindbergh Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 178 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lindbergh Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade, with rankings ranging from 648 out of 656 schools in 2024-2025 to 630 out of 659 schools in 2016-2017. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, indicating very poor performance. Lindbergh Elementary consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.4% of Lindbergh students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.47% statewide and 21.63% in the district.

Lindbergh Elementary has particularly low performance among certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners (ELLs). In 2024-2025, Hispanic students at Lindbergh ranked 259 out of 262 Kansas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating, and ELL students ranked 114 out of 129 Kansas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 41.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. These challenges may be exacerbated by the fact that Lindbergh Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 82.58% to 92.17% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.
