Lynd Elementary

Summary:

Lynd Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Lynd, Minnesota, serving 115 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school is part of the Lynd Public School District, which is ranked 380 out of 463 districts in the state, Lynd Elementary stands out in several key ways.

Lynd Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (26.96%) compared to the predominantly white student populations (70-90% white) at nearby schools like Lakeview Elementary, Rtr Elementary School, and Minneota Elementary. However, Lynd Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments, is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.22% to 59.13% over the past three school years.

Despite these challenges, Lynd Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.3 to 9.7 over the past three school years, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Addressing the unique needs of Lynd Elementary's diverse student population and improving its academic performance will likely require a targeted approach, such as additional funding, professional development for teachers, and specialized programs to support the school's community.

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.
