Summary:
Lynd Public School District is a small Minnesota district serving 175 students across just two schools — Lynd Elementary (PK–5, enrollment 104) and Lynd Middle School (5–8, enrollment 71) — with no high school or alternative school listed. The district is ranked 326th of 458 in Minnesota, a 29th percentile position with 1 star, and it trails the state in every all-grade subject: math 25.6% vs 44.9%, reading 35.4% vs 48.6%, and science 10.3% vs 25.5%.
The two schools are moving in opposite directions. Lynd Middle School improved from the 18th percentile with 1 star to the 41st percentile with 2 stars, and its all-grade math nearly doubled from 11.48% to 22.8%. Lynd Elementary slipped from 30th percentile with 2 stars to 22nd percentile with 1 star, although it still leads the district in math at 32% versus the middle school's 22.8%. Reading flips the other way: the middle school leads at 36.8% versus 32% at the elementary.
Grade-level results are uneven at both schools. The middle school's 6th-grade reading, at 54.5%, is the only reported grade-level figure above the state average of 53.4%; its 8th-grade math (38.5%) and science (15.4%) sit close to state, while 5th-grade math was reported at 0% and 5th-grade science at 6.3%. At the elementary, 4th-grade math was 15.4% against a state figure of 55.2%, and 3rd-grade reading was 16.7% against 46.8%. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced lunch at 58.65% at the elementary and 53.52% at the middle school, and student–teacher ratios of 11.8 and 15.4. Because cohorts are small, single-grade percentages can swing widely and should be read with caution.
