Summary

Lindley Park Elementary is a K–5 school in Asheboro, NC, serving 403 students as part of the Asheboro City Schools district. The school serves a very high-poverty community, with roughly 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Lindley Park’s academic performance has declined sharply over the past decade. The school was a 3-star, above-average elementary school as recently as 2015–2018, but by 2025–2026 it had fallen to a 0-star rating, ranking in the 9th percentile statewide. Test scores tell a similar story: math proficiency sits in the low-40s across grades 3–5, well below state averages in the low-to-mid 60s. Reading results are more mixed—3rd and 5th grade actually beat district averages—while 5th grade science (54.5%) comes closest to closing the gap with the state. That said, this decline is not inevitable for a school with this demographic profile. Nearby Guy B Teachey Elementary serves an equally high-poverty population within the same district yet ranks in the 51st percentile, and Southmont Elementary in Randolph County School System ranks in the 63rd percentile under similar conditions. This suggests the challenges at Lindley Park are tied to instructional and programmatic factors that can be improved.

There are some encouraging signs for parents to know. Chronic absenteeism at Lindley Park is consistently better than district and state averages—just 17.1% compared to roughly 24% elsewhere—so getting kids to school is not the core issue. The student-to-teacher ratio of 13.5 is also favorable compared to nearby schools. The biggest concern is equity: performance gaps between student groups are stark, with White students ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide while low-income students rank in the 1st percentile and Hispanic students in the 2nd. For parents considering this school, the picture is one of a committed, attending student body where the school has historically proven it can do better—but where urgent, targeted academic support is needed, especially in math and for the school's most vulnerable learners.
