Summary

Flynn Elementary is a public elementary school located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serving 235 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Eau Claire Area School District, which is ranked 194 out of 426 school districts in the state, Flynn Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Across grades 3-5, Flynn Elementary has consistently outperformed both the Eau Claire Area School District and the state of Wisconsin in the percentage of students proficient or better on the Forward Exam. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 68.97% of 3rd-grade students at Flynn Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 55.34% for the district and 52.14% for the state. Similarly, 79.31% of 3rd-grade students at Flynn Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 60.06% for the district and 55% for the state.

While Flynn Elementary's academic performance is strong, the school faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 10.8 to 11.7 over the past few years, which may contribute to its ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. When compared to nearby schools within the Eau Claire Area School District, Flynn Elementary generally outperforms them in academic achievement, but some schools, such as Meadowview Elementary and Northwoods Elementary, have shown stronger performance in certain grade levels and subject areas.
