Summary:

Lowell, MA is home to 15 elementary schools serving roughly 7,000 students, mostly spanning PK–4, with three K–8 options (Rogers STEM Academy, Pyne Arts, and Bartlett Community Partnership) and enrollment ranging from 248 to 892 students. The Lowell district ranks 273 of 351 districts in Massachusetts, and its 2025–2026 MCAS all-grade results sit below the state in ELA (27.26% vs. 40.03%), math (32.38% vs. 41.11%), and science (23.00% vs. 40.98%).

Two schools clearly outperform their peers. Charles W Morey is the standout, jumping from the 39th to the 67th percentile with 3 stars; its ELA (44.38%) and math (58.39%) both beat the state, and its 3rd-grade math reached 63.75%. Dr Gertrude Bailey is the most consistent, climbing 48 → 53 → 56 in percentile and scoring 40.13% in ELA and 50.32% in math. Washington (39th percentile, 2 stars) sits above district in both subjects, while Moody Elementary is unusual for having math (41.67%) far above ELA (25.00%), including the highest grade-level math score in the data at 61.11% in 4th grade. Abraham Lincoln and Greenhalge rank lowest at the 16th percentile.

A few patterns matter for families. Math is consistently stronger than ELA across the district, with gaps as large as 16.67 points at Moody and 15.82 points at Charlotte M Murkland Elementary. Science is the clear weakness: all three K–8 schools fall below both district and state. Grade-level results can also look very different from school averages — Bartlett’s 8th-grade math hit 51.11% even though its overall rank is 19th percentile. Finally, spending and class size don’t neatly predict results: Washington spends the most ($19,030) without ranking top, while Morey and Bailey achieve the best outcomes with mid-range resources.
