Lindsay Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 834 out of 2,323 California high schools in 2023-2024 to 1,067 out of 2,123 in 2021-2022. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 3 stars out of 5 in recent years and 2 stars in 2021-2022. Compared to nearby schools, Lindsay Senior High generally performs better than the other schools in the Lindsay Unified District, such as John J.

Lindsay Senior High performs relatively well in certain student group categories, such as Female Students, Hispanic Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, but struggles with Special Education Students and Disabled Students. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.6% to 97.5% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2017-2018 to 36.3% in 2021-2022, before slightly decreasing to 21.0% in 2022-2023. This high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern and is higher than the rates observed in many of the nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
