Summary

Charles A Lindbergh Elementary School is a public school in Dearborn, MI, serving 316 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Dearborn City School District.

Lindbergh is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for five straight years and ranking in the 78th to 87th percentile statewide. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Math are far above both district and state averages—for example, math proficiency rates range from 59.7% to 64.4%, compared to a district range of 34.8% to 50.6%. What truly sets Lindbergh apart, however, is its exceptional success with students from low-income backgrounds. In the 2025-2026 school year, this subgroup ranked in the 97th percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating. This is a remarkable achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Howard Elementary, which has a similar overall ranking but does not show a comparable subgroup performance. Lindbergh also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.9%, dramatically lower than the district average of 25.9% and far below schools like Long Elementary (29.1%) or River Oaks Elementary (29.3%).

Lindbergh is part of a cluster of strong schools in the area, including Howard Elementary, Haigh Elementary, and Duvall Elementary, which all outperform other nearby options like Nowlin Elementary. While Howard has a slightly higher overall rank and lower absenteeism, Lindbergh's standout work with its low-income students makes it a uniquely strong choice. One area for potential growth is science and social studies, where scores, while above state averages, show a smaller gap compared to its ELA and math results. Overall, Lindbergh offers a supportive, engaging environment where students consistently achieve well above their peers.
