Frank G Lindsey Elementary School

Frank G Lindsey Elementary School is a public school in Montrose, New York, serving students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade across an enrollment of 324. Its composite score of 9.0 out of 10 places it in exceptional territory — and the data behind that rating is compelling. Lindsey ranks 76th out of 4,739 public schools across New York State, outperforming 98% of all public schools statewide.

Among New York's 2,549 elementary schools specifically, it lands at 61st. Growth is the standout metric. A 9.4 growth score signals that students are advancing faster than expected relative to their starting points — a strong indicator of instructional quality that goes beyond raw test performance.

Academic scores come in at 7.8, solid but secondary to the growth story here. The student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 keeps class sizes small, giving teachers real capacity to differentiate instruction. For a public school in a small community, that ratio reflects a meaningful commitment to per-student attention.

Lindsey is the top-ranked school in Montrose and one of the few elementary schools in New York with both strong academics and exceptional growth. Families comparing options in the Hudson Valley will find few public schools that match this performance profile at the elementary level.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, Frank G Lindsey Elementary School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
