Summary

Lyndon Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lyndon, Kansas, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 305 students. The school is part of the Lyndon District, which is ranked 171 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lyndon Elementary is struggling, with proficiency rates below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in certain grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 42.52% in English Language Arts and 32.75% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 44.47% and 38.73%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th grade Mathematics, with only 3.33% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42%. Additionally, Lyndon Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 3.8% to 19.7% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Lebo Elementary and Waverly Elementary, Lyndon Elementary is underperforming, with lower proficiency rates and overall rankings. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lebo Elementary had 68.74% proficiency in English Language Arts and 48.43% in Mathematics, significantly outperforming Lyndon Elementary. While Lyndon Elementary's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are comparable to or better than some of the nearby schools, the school's academic challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the performance issues.
