District-Level NCES Analysis
Lindbergh Schools operates 10 public schools serving 7,456 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in St. Louis County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,746 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 84.6% local, 10.3% state, and 5.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 11/100, ranked #430 of 432 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (33 AP courses district-wide), a 325.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 10.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.2% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sappington Elem., with a diversity index of 35.5/100.
Its largest campus is Lindbergh Sr. High, enrolling 2,304 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Early Childhood Ed Center West, at 386 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Lindbergh Sr. High accounts for 30.3% of all Lindbergh Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Lindbergh Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Lindbergh Schools school enrollment varies 6.0× across entities
Lindbergh Schools school enrollment ranges from 386 students (lowest) to 2,304 students (highest), a spread of 1,918 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Lindbergh Schools student-counselor ratio is 325:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Lindbergh Schools is typically wider than the Lindbergh Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Lindbergh Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 10.0% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
