Summary:
Lynn Middle School is a public middle school in Las Cruces, New Mexico, serving 534 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Las Cruces Public Schools district, which is ranked 60 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.
Lynn Middle stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.03%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 59% to 85.05% Hispanic. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools. For example, in 2022-2023, Lynn Middle's proficiency rates were 29% in Language Arts, 16% in Mathematics, and 17% in Science, compared to the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, is particularly low, with many of these subgroups ranking in the bottom quartile of New Mexico middle schools.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.6 to 17.7 over the past three years, and a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Lynn Middle continues to underperform. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Interestingly, Mesilla Valley Leadership Academy, a public charter school located just 0.06 miles from Lynn Middle, has significantly outperformed Lynn Middle in academic proficiency, ranking 35th out of 239 New Mexico middle schools in 2022-2023.
