Summary:

The four high schools in Winston County, Alabama—Meek High School, Winston County High School, Lynn High School, and Addison High School—serve roughly 230 to 290 students each across grades 5th or 7th through 12th, and all four schools boast graduation rates above the state average of 91.5%, with the district earning a 3-star rating overall.

If you are comparing schools, Lynn High School is the comeback story, jumping from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating in one year and achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate, though its scores swing wildly due to small class sizes. Meek High School is the consistent performer, with strong 5th-grade math scores (57.69% proficient) and a 97.6% graduation rate, while spending the least per student ($9,365). Addison High School is the most concerning, falling from a top-60 state ranking to 243rd in just two years despite having the lowest chronic absenteeism (9.4%), the best student-teacher ratio (15.4), and the lowest economic disadvantage (41.38% free/reduced lunch)—a paradox suggesting factors beyond resources are at play. Winston County High School spends the most per student ($10,968) but has the highest chronic absenteeism (16.9%) and only mediocre performance.

A district-wide red flag is the 11th-grade math crisis: proficiency rates range from just 8.11% at Addison to 41.18% at Lynn, with three of four schools below the state average of 27.21%. Across all subjects, younger grades consistently outperform 11th grade—for example, Meek's 5th-grade math proficiency is triple its 11th-grade rate—suggesting challenges compound as students advance. Notably, Lynn High School had a 0% proficiency rate in 7th-grade math in 2025-2026, yet led the district in 11th-grade math the same year, highlighting how small cohorts (roughly 30-40 students per grade) can skew results dramatically. While all four schools are declining in rankings, the strong graduation rates across the board indicate students are being retained and supported through completion, even if standardized test proficiency lags.
