Lindsay High led in ELA at 22%, ahead of Middle’s 20% and Elementary’s 6%, though all three were below the state. Middle narrowly led math at 22%, just above Elementary’s 21%, while High was lowest at 10%; all fell short of the state’s 25%.

These figures offer context, but differences in grade spans and school characteristics do not explain why results vary.
