GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think the school has great academics and keeps you engaged, there are a lot of activities from sports to band. We have had a lot of change in leadership, i would like to see it be a constant.

Seventh and eighth grade were the best years imo.I had a lot of friends there and in eighth grade,we went to florida as a school trip.We had fun and even though there were some bad moments(losing friends),it is honestly better than 9th and 10th grade.It helped with my credits and made me more mature.

For over five years I have been enrolled in Lindblom Math and Science Academy. I entered its Academic Center program and started attending my seventh grade year. I've gotten to know many of the faculty and students and found it a welcoming environment. The staff have been helpful throughout all the years I attended and are willing to help those they aren't familiar with. The large selection of classes and AP courses give anyone with goals that many other schools wouldn't provide. The school also provides a special Colloquium day that adds even more classes and tutoring time to enrich them in what subjects they require more time with. There's a wide array of student resources with a student lead group known as the writing center helping tutor any students regardless of grade level on any subject they require aid or further tutoring in. I've have a pleasant experience in Lindblom and would recommend it to those who are thinking about it ads a senior graduation this school year.
