Summary

Lindbergh Senior High School is a traditional public school for grades 9–12 in Renton, Washington, serving 1,201 students in the Renton School District. Its 2025–2026 statewide standing is near the middle: 186th of 396 high schools, in the 53rd percentile, with a three-star SchoolDigger rating. The student-teacher ratio is 20.7:1, and about 49.96% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school’s recent ranking has improved considerably from the 35th percentile in 2022–2023.

English Language Arts is Lindbergh’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 65.23% of students were proficient, compared with 47.42% in the district and 52.81% statewide. That result was close to Hazen Senior High School and Kentridge High School, and well above Renton Senior High School and Talley High School. Math is a larger concern: proficiency was 33.33%, below both district and state averages and well behind Hazen and Kentridge. Science was also below average at 37.30%. By comparison, Liberty Senior High School posted substantially higher results in all three subjects, but it serves a different district context.

Graduation remains slightly above district and state averages at 84.6% in 2024–2025, but it has declined from 90.6% in 2020–2021. The dropout rate rose to 11.6%, the highest in the five-year series and above both district and state rates. This makes student persistence, on-time completion, and dropout prevention important priorities. Overall, Lindbergh appears to be recovering academically, particularly in ranking and ELA, while needing more progress in math and science and stronger completion outcomes. The alternative programs YouthSource and RTC, Renton Technical High School, and Open Door Youth Reengagement serve different student populations and should not be treated as direct academic peers.
