Elementary Schools in Lyndon

The Lyndon Elementary is the sole elementary school serving the Lyndon, Kansas area. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and has a student population of 303. While the school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in science but challenges in English language arts and mathematics, the school's per-student spending is above the state average, suggesting adequate resources to support student learning.

Lyndon Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 222nd out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 344th out of 653 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments have also been inconsistent, with science proficiency exceeding the state average but English language arts and mathematics falling below. This suggests the need for the school to closely examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to address these disparities and improve overall academic performance.

With 40.92% of Lyndon Elementary's students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and should be considered when developing targeted support and intervention strategies. Despite the school's above-average per-student spending, the inconsistent academic performance indicates that simply having higher funding may not be the sole solution, and the school should explore ways to optimize the use of its resources to better support student learning.
