Summary

Lindbergh Elementary is a grades 3–5 school in Little Falls, Minnesota, part of Little Falls Community Schools, enrolling 473 students — about 158 per grade — which makes it a large upper-elementary campus rather than a full PK–5 elementary like many of its neighbors.

In 2025–26, 53.2% of Lindbergh students were proficient in math, above both the district (40.5%) and the state (44.9%). That puts the school ahead of nearby Rice Elementary (47.9%), Upsala Elementary (40%), and Swanville Elementary (25%), but behind Holdingford Elementary (63.7%), Pioneer Elementary (72.8%), and Royalton Elementary (64.6%). Third- and fourth-grade math are strong, but fifth-grade math falls to 35.2% (state: 41.9%). Reading stands at 44.7% — above the district (43.6%) but below the state (48.6%), and below state in every grade. Science is the biggest concern: 18.2%, below the district (25%) and state (25.5%), and down from 47.37% in 2022–23. Nearby schools show much higher science is achievable, including Holdingford (36%), Pioneer (30%), and Royalton (27.1%).

Since science is tested only in fifth grade, that low result fits with a fifth-grade group that also trails in math and reading, suggesting an upper-grade transition issue. Lindbergh serves a higher-poverty population (45.67% free/reduced lunch) than most nearby schools, yet still beats the state in math. Results vary widely across student groups: low-income students rank 56th percentile (3 stars), and girls rank 55th percentile versus boys at 38th (2 stars). Overall, the school ranked 461 of 869 Minnesota schools in 2025–26 (47th percentile, 2 stars), its best showing since 2020–21, and the student/teacher ratio improved to 13.0.
