Summary

Flynn Elementary is a K–5 school on Lee Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serving about 198 students as part of the Eau Claire Area School District, and it currently sits at the state average — 50th percentile, 3 stars — after a long decline and a two-year recovery. Flynn's rank history runs from the 70th percentile in 2015-16 down to the 39th in 2023-24, then back up to 50th in both 2024-25 and 2025-26, which places it roughly in line with its district (48th percentile) and in the lower-middle of nearby elementaries.

For a school its size, Flynn stands out in a few specific ways. It is the smallest campus among ten nearby comparison schools (198 students versus 215–522), has the lowest student–teacher ratio within three miles at 9.0:1, and reports the highest per-pupil spending in that group at $22,905 — a figure that swings widely from year to year, so it is worth watching rather than reading as a steady classroom investment. Its most unambiguous strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 7.1% is less than half the district (16.4%) and state (17.3%) rates, and it is lower than Robbins Elementary (9.8%) and Longfellow Elementary (15.0%). That drop in absenteeism lined up exactly with Flynn's climb back to the state average.

Academic results are uneven by grade. Fourth graders post the best science (75%) and social studies (86.11%) scores of any school within three miles, ahead of Meadowview Elementary, Manz Elementary, and Altoona Intermediate. But 3rd-grade math (31.71%) and 5th-grade ELA (37.78%) fall well below district and state levels, and math is the clearer instructional gap. Notably, special education students rank in the 79th percentile statewide with 4 stars and low-income students in the 59th — Flynn's strongest subgroup results. With only about 33 students per grade, individual cohorts drive much of the year-to-year variation.
