Summary

East Lynn Elementary School is a small, rural school in East Lynn, WV, serving 124 students in grades PK-5 as part of Wayne County Schools. The school has earned a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the middle of the pack statewide, but its real story is one of dramatic improvement and some standout strengths.

The most impressive highlight is 5th grade math. In the most recent testing year, 66.7% of East Lynn's 5th graders were proficient in math—a rate that towers over the state average of 44% and beats every other elementary school in Wayne County, including Buffalo Elementary School (45.3%) and Prichard Elementary School (18.8%). Science scores are also climbing fast, jumping from just 15% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 40% in 2025-2026, now above the state average. There's a clear pattern of students getting stronger as they move up through the grades—3rd graders start below state averages, but by 5th grade, they're outperforming them in both math and English Language Arts. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, the school's small size likely allows for more individualized attention in those upper grades.

That said, parents should be aware that East Lynn's performance has been volatile over the past decade, swinging from a 5-star rating (top 10% statewide) in 2018-2019 down to 1 star in 2022-2023, and back up to 3 stars now. With only about 25 students per grade, a single strong or weak class can dramatically shift the school's numbers. The school also spends more per student ($13,760) than most nearby schools, yet it still trails the top performers just across the county line—Hite Saunders Elementary School and Salt Rock Elementary School in Cabell County Schools rank in the 96th-97th percentile. Still, the recent upward trend, especially for economically disadvantaged students (now at the 53rd percentile), suggests East Lynn is on a positive trajectory worth watching.
