The crest features the Spirit of St. Louis (the plane that Charles Lindbergh flew), and the school's motto flanked by stars with the dates 1927 and 1972, respectively.

Lindbergh features unusual architecture compared to traditional boxy high school buildings.

Originally intended to be a community college, the school is constructed with concrete floors and brick walls with wooden beams supporting sloped roofs.

Another distinct feature is a skybridge linking the main building with the gymnasium and the student parking lot.

In 1998, Renton voters approved a construction bond to rebuild, remodel, and renovate school buildings throughout the district.

The school was originally built featuring many open areas in addition to conventional walled classrooms, but most of these spaces were closed by the 1990s.

In the 2018–2019 school year, all classroom doors were replaced with ones that are able to be locked from the inside rather than the previous models that were only lockable from the outside.

49% of students are eligible for free or reduced price meals, 13% receive special education services, 12.5% are transitional bilingual (and many more are native speakers of both English and another language).

The league includes Foster, Highline, Tyee, Renton, Evergreen and Sammamish high schools.

In 1973, the Lindbergh Eagles went undefeated in football with a record of 9–0, beating the likes of Kennedy, Yelm, and Glacier High Schools.

Boys' Basketball also has had some relative success as of late appearing in the West Central District Playoffs every year since 2011, even placing 5th in state in 2012.

Sports programs Lindbergh High School has a number of extracurricular activities, ranging from student government to pre-professional organizations to cultural clubs.

The Black Student Union, Latina Club, and Alphabet Soup (LGBT youth support group) serve more specific communities.

As part of Division 32 of the Pacific Northwest District of Key Club, members perform service in and around the Renton area.

Some organizations are built around hobbies, allowing students to participate while meeting peers of similar interests.

The executive board intends to foster school spirit, and encourage involvement in the Benson Hill community.

In addition, most alumni of the local K-10 alternative school, the HOME Program, attend Running Start via Lindbergh after finishing second year.
