Summary

Ingalls is an elementary school located in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 698 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite its resources, Ingalls has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

Ingalls' academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.28% of Ingalls students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 16.86% in the Lynn district and 41.53% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While Ingalls spends more per student ($15,533 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, this additional funding does not translate into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of around 12:1 is similar to nearby schools, suggesting that class size is not a significant factor in the school's underperformance. Interestingly, some schools outside the Lynn district, like Clarke and Hadley in Swampscott, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, indicating that factors beyond just the district may be contributing to Ingalls' underperformance.
