Chronic absenteeism rose to 40% in 2025–26, from 7% the year before, and is 23 percentage points above the district and 23 points above the state.

The nearby schools are Clifton-Clyde Senior High, Valley Heights Junior/Senior High, Hanover High and Washington County High School. Math proficiency was 56%, 15 points above the state but 6 points below the district; it was 6 points above the nearby average. In contrast, Linn’s science result was 24 points below the state and 27 below the district, and the nearby average was 39%. For 11th-grade science, Linn was also lowest among the five schools.

Results have shifted sharply: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 38 percentage points and math rose 22, while science fell 12 points between the two years reported. Linn’s SchoolDigger percentile improved from 44 to 71 over the past year, though it remains fourth among the nearby schools, behind Clifton-Clyde, Valley Heights and Hanover.
