Summary

Lynn High School is a small, rural public school in Lynn, Alabama, serving 256 students in grades 5 through 12 within the Winston County district.

Lynn High School has shown remarkable recent improvement, jumping to a 4-star rating and the 73rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a 31-point leap from the prior year. The school's standout achievement is its exceptional work with economically disadvantaged students, who make up over half the student body. These students ranked in the 90th percentile statewide (5 stars), far outpacing the school's overall performance. The school also achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate in 2024-2025, surpassing both the district (96.2%) and state (91.5%) averages. In 11th grade mathematics, 41.18% of students were proficient—more than double the district average and actually exceeding nearby Winfield High School (36.36%) and Haleyville High School (31.68%), despite those schools ranking higher overall. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically, from 23.8% to 13.0% over three years.

However, parents should be aware of significant challenges. The school shows a pronounced "middle school dip" in mathematics: 5th grade math proficiency is strong at 65.63%, but it plummets to 12% in 6th grade, 0% in 7th grade, and 11.54% in 8th grade—a pattern consistent across multiple years. English scores are also highly volatile, with 11th grade proficiency swinging from 33% to 8% and back to 32% in consecutive years. While Lynn outperforms Meek High School (53rd percentile) and Winston County High School (59th percentile), it trails Winfield High School (92nd percentile) and Haleyville High School (83rd percentile). With only about 32 students per grade, the school offers personalized attention, but this small size also means test scores can swing dramatically from year to year. The school's success with vulnerable students is genuine, but the middle school math crisis and inconsistent English scores are critical areas parents will want to monitor closely.
