What Parents Should Know

Lind-ritzville Middle School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
30% of students at Lind-ritzville Middle School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
