Lindbergh Named Best District in Missouri
December 2, 2016
Lindbergh Schools has been crowned the top district in Missouri by StartClass, an education research website powered by Graphiq. StartClass used data from the 2014-15 school year, including graduation rates, test scores and student-teacher ratios, to determine the highest-performing school district in each state.
“Our academic programs are outstanding and our teachers are dedicated to preparing students for success in the 21st century,” said Superintendent Dr. Jim Simpson.
According to Dr. Simpson, Internet research plays an important role in selecting a school district. In 2016-17, K-12 enrollment increased by 173 students, further evidence that more and more young families are utilizing websites such as StartClass to make a connection to Lindbergh.
“Young families tell us that these rankings help narrow their search for high-quality education while showcasing the excellent educational opportunities we have to offer,” Dr. Simpson added.
StartClass released school rankings earlier this fall, with Lindbergh High School and Concord Elementary School claiming the Best High School and Best Elementary School in Missouri, respectively. Schools were ranked by exam passing rates, school environment and disciplinary actions.
