Summary

Lindbergh Elementary School is a PK–5 school of 267 students on Columbus's west side (43223), part of Columbus City Schools District, and it ranks 1,335th of 1,560 Ohio schools (14th percentile, 1 star) — a standing that has never risen above the 25th percentile across a decade of rankings.

Compared with five Columbus City elementaries within about 1.5 miles, Lindbergh is middle-of-the-pack: clearly behind Binns Elementary School and Westgate Alternative Elementary School, and clearly ahead of West Mound Elementary School, Highland Elementary School and Burroughs Elementary School. The closest comparison is Binns (0.79 miles), which has nearly identical enrollment, student-teacher ratio, per-pupil spending and chronic absenteeism — yet scores roughly 15–35 points higher in six of seven tested areas. Nearby South-Western City schools achieve far better attendance despite lower spending, including James A Harmon Elementary School (17.1% chronically absent), East Franklin Elementary School (32.0%) and Finland Elementary School (40.8%), versus Lindbergh's 55.4%.

Lindbergh's clearest weakness is third grade, where 2025–2026 proficiency was 16.2% in math (district 35.0%) and 18.9% in ELA (district 37.4%). Its historic strength — fifth-grade science and math, above district for three straight years — slipped in 2025–2026 to 33.3% in science, slightly below district and far below the state's 62.7%. Fourth grade is the current bright spot, beating the district in both math (45.7%) and ELA (48.6%). Special education students rank above the school as a whole (37th percentile in 2025–2026, 2 stars). Chronic absenteeism improved from 70.6% to 44.2% but has since climbed back to 55.4%, erasing that progress. With roughly 35–45 students per grade, single-year swings should be read as directional rather than precise.
