Summary

Flinn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Charleston, West Virginia, serving 420 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Kanawha County Schools district.

Flinn Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 278th out of 402 West Virginia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 137th out of 355 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the Kanawha County and West Virginia averages, particularly in mathematics. Flinn Elementary has a strong performance in special education, ranking 44th out of 171 West Virginia elementary schools in 2024-2025 for this student subgroup. However, the school's performance for African American students and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively weaker, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of West Virginia elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Flinn Elementary performs better than some, such as Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary and Grandview Elementary, which have significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments. But it lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Cross Lanes Elementary and Rock Branch Elementary (in the Putnam County district), which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state.
