Summary

Lynn Elementary School is a small, rural school in Lynn, Alabama, serving 168 students from Pre-K through 4th grade as part of the Winston County district.

Lynn Elementary has seen a significant decline in academic performance over the past few years. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school ranked in the 36th percentile statewide, a sharp drop from the 68th percentile just two years prior. This downward trend is visible across most subjects. For example, only 40% of 4th graders are proficient in English, compared to the state average of nearly 60%, and 4th-grade science proficiency sits at 34% versus a 50% state average. The school does perform better in 3rd-grade math, where 56% of students are proficient, slightly above the state average. However, the most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism. At 18.7%, Lynn's rate is roughly 58% higher than both the state and district averages, and this has been a persistent issue for four straight years. High absenteeism is strongly linked to lower achievement, and this likely plays a major role in the academic struggles.

Compared to nearby Meek Elementary School, just 19 miles away in the same district, the differences are striking. Meek ranks in the 69th percentile and outperforms Lynn in every subject—for instance, 60% of Meek's 4th graders are proficient in science and English, versus 34% and 40% at Lynn. Meek also has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.9%, less than half of Lynn's. Notably, Lynn spends more per student ($11,990) than most comparable schools, including Meek, which suggests the issue isn't a lack of funding but rather how resources are used and how effectively the school engages families. With 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Lynn serves a predominantly low-income population, and its support for these students has also declined sharply in recent years. The good news is that Meek's success proves these challenges can be overcome in a similar rural setting, and Lynn could benefit from studying Meek's approaches to attendance and instruction.
