Summary

Pyne Arts is an elementary school (grades PK-8) located in Lowell, MA, serving 464 students. While the Lowell school district is ranked 278 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts with a 1-star rating, Pyne Arts consistently outperforms the district and the state on academic assessments.

Pyne Arts has been a standout performer, particularly for its English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top 5-16% and top 6.3% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's overall academic performance has declined over the past several years, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, there are notable gaps in performance between male and female students at Pyne Arts, an area that could benefit from further attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Pyne Arts generally outperforms the other Lowell elementary schools, all of which have 1-star ratings. However, the Lowell Community Charter Public School, which is slightly further away, has stronger academic performance across the board, ranking in the top 60% of Massachusetts elementary schools. As Pyne Arts examines opportunities for improvement, it may benefit from learning from the success of the Lowell Community Charter Public School and evaluating its own resource allocation.
