Flintville School is on a clear upward trajectory, rising from the 38th percentile in state rankings in 2023-2024 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, and improving its star rating from 2 stars to 3 stars.

Math proficiency is strong in 4th, 7th, and 8th grades, but 5th and 6th grade math lag significantly: only 29.2% and 29.5% of students are proficient, compared to 47.4% and 40.1% statewide, respectively. Social studies also dips sharply in 8th grade, with 30.4% proficiency versus the 47.6% state average. Overall, Flintville School is improving, and targeted support for middle school ELA, upper elementary math, and 8th grade social studies could build on the strong gains already being made in math and science.
