Summary

Lindemann Elementary School in Allen Park, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 639 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly rated Allen Park Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star statewide rating.

Lindemann has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, climbing from the low-40th percentile to its highest ranking in a decade—the 65th percentile—in the 2025-2026 school year. The school's most impressive achievements, however, are with specific student groups. Lindemann ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for Hispanic students and the 82nd percentile for students from low-income families, both significantly higher than its overall rank. This suggests the school is particularly effective at supporting students who often face additional challenges. Nearly half of Lindemann's students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school's success with this population stands out. Additionally, chronic absenteeism at 17.1% is well below both the district average (22.2%) and the state average (27.9%), indicating strong student engagement. Academically, English Language Arts is a relative strength, with 4th-grade proficiency at 59.3% in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 41.3%. Math performance is more variable by grade level, though it generally meets or exceeds state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Lindemann is a clear standout. It outperforms Bennie Elementary School (56th percentile) and dramatically outpaces schools in the neighboring Taylor School District and Lincoln Park School District, where proficiency rates are often half or even a third of Lindemann's. For example, Lindemann's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 47.2% compared to just 11.5% at Taylor Parks Elementary School. While Arno Elementary School remains the district's top performer, Lindemann achieves strong results with more efficient resource use than many lower-performing schools in the region, which spend significantly more per student. For families seeking a solid, improving school with a proven track record of supporting diverse learners, Lindemann is an excellent option.
