Lyndon Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests, is generally below the state average across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.77%) and Mathematics (25.69%) were lower than the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. However, the school's performance in Science is a bright spot, with 54.82% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 32.28%. Compared to nearby schools, such as Lebo Elementary and Waverly Elementary, both part of the Lebo-Waverly District, Lyndon Elementary's performance is mixed, with the nearby schools outperforming Lyndon Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Lyndon Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students and White students outperforming the school's overall performance. The school's performance for students of low socioeconomic status is noteworthy, with a ranking in the top 15% of Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022. Additionally, Lyndon Elementary's higher per-student spending of $11,857 in 2018-2019 and lower student-teacher ratio of around 12.5 to 12.9 suggest that the school may be allocating resources effectively to support student learning, though further analysis would be needed to determine the efficiency of this resource allocation.

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.
