Summary:
Lindsay has three public schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Lindsay Elementary (503 students), Lindsay Middle (313), and Lindsay High (314). In the latest results, all three schools were below the state in English language arts (ELA), and the area average was also below the state in math. The clearest overall finding is that performance varies sharply by school and subject, especially in science.
Lindsay Middle stands out in science: 47% were proficient, 17 points above the state’s 30%, while Lindsay High had 7%, 23 points below. Middle also led in math at 22%, just above Elementary’s 21%; the state result was 25%. High led the schools in ELA at 22%, but was still 4 points below the state. At the lower end, Elementary’s ELA result was 6%, 20 points below the state, and High’s math was 10%, 15 points below. High’s science result was also low, while Elementary had no reported science result.
Results have shifted differently across schools. The ELA average fell from 21% in 2024–2025 to 16% in 2025–2026, widening its gap from the state from 5 to 10 points; Middle improved 3 points while Elementary and High each fell 9.
