Summary

Greenhalge is an elementary school located in Lowell, Massachusetts, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 457 students. Despite being part of the Lowell school district, which is ranked 278 out of 348 districts in the state, Greenhalge has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years.

Greenhalge faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized assessments compared to the Lowell district and the state of Massachusetts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.63% of Greenhalge students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 27.63% for Lowell and 41.53% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with some groups performing relatively well while others struggle. Interestingly, Greenhalge is surrounded by several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Peter W. Reilly and Charlotte M. Murkland, which outperform Greenhalge by a significant margin on MCAS assessments.

Despite spending around $17,500 per student, which is slightly higher than the Lowell district average, Greenhalge has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11-12 students per teacher, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Additionally, the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with no clear signs of improvement, suggesting a need for more comprehensive, long-term interventions and support to address the school's systemic challenges.
