Lynn High School

Summary:

Lynn High School is a public high school serving grades 5-12 in Lynn, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 251 students. The school is part of the Winston County School District, which is ranked 41 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Lynn High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.21%) compared to the state average, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.71% to 68.13% over the past few years. The school's academic performance is mixed, with lower-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics, but relatively stronger performance in English. Interestingly, male students and white students at Lynn High School tend to outperform their female and low-socioeconomic status peers, respectively.

Over the years, Lynn High School's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 136th out of 351 high schools in 2015-2016 to 105th out of 378 high schools in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in Alabama. However, the school's strengths in English proficiency, particularly at the elementary grade levels, indicate it has effective strategies in place for teaching language arts. As the school navigates its racial and socioeconomic challenges, it will be important for the community to support targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
