Best Public Schools in Lynn, AL

Summary:

The city of Lynn, Alabama is home to two schools - Lynn High School and Lynn Elementary School. While the schools share some similarities, such as high rates of economically disadvantaged students, they also exhibit distinct strengths and challenges.

Lynn High School has been a standout performer, ranking in the top 35% of Winston County high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school struggles with math proficiency, scoring below the county and state averages. In contrast, Lynn Elementary School excels in English/Language Arts, with 3rd and 4th grade students outperforming their peers at the county and state levels.

Both schools face significant challenges, with over 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community. Additionally, the racial demographics of the schools are overwhelmingly white, with less than 3% of students identifying as non-white, suggesting a need to explore factors contributing to this lack of diversity. The funding disparity between the high school and elementary school, with the elementary school spending nearly $2,000 more per student, also warrants further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation.
