Summary:
The city of Lynn, Indiana is home to two schools - Randolph Southern Elementary School and Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Randolph Southern School Corp. While the elementary school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating and strong academic performance, the junior-senior high school has seen a concerning decline, dropping from a 4-star to a 1-star rating in recent years.
Randolph Southern Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in ILEARN Math, particularly in 5th grade, and strong performance in ILEARN Social Studies. In contrast, the junior-senior high school struggles academically, with lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in both ILEARN and SAT assessments. This decline is reflected in the school's significant drop in its SchoolDigger ranking, suggesting a need for improvement in academic outcomes.
Both schools face challenges related to attendance and socioeconomic factors, with high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant portion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the junior-senior high school level compared to the elementary school may indicate a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and ensure equitable distribution of funds across the district.
