Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.

Stage 1 of 2

The elementary years

The elementary schools average 31.4/100 — 7.4 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.

Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

6 elementary schools span 20 points around an average of 31.4.

The strength

Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 11.0% against a state average of 17.9%.

The high school years

The high schools average 43.7/100 — 10.3 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.

0100

2 high schools span 15 points around an average of 43.7.

1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.

The strength

Lindsay Senior High is the strongest option at 51/100 — 22.9% of its students exceed the state standard.

The catch

34.6% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Washington Elementary at 41/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

Among comprehensive public schools listed here, the highest Scope Score at each primary reporting level is: Elementary: Washington Elementary (41/100). High: Lindsay Senior High (51/100).

Can I compare elementary, middle, and high schools directly?
Compare schools at the same level and within the same enrollment group. Scope Score formulas and available measures differ by level. The plots show comprehensive public schools separately for each level; individual profiles explain their comparison group.
Does living in Lindsay Unified guarantee a particular school?

What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?
Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.
Where do these results come from?
The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
