Summary

Tynan Elementary School is a PK–6 school at 650 E Fourth Street in South Boston’s City Point area, serving 227 students as part of the Boston Public Schools district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 837th of 899 Massachusetts schools (7th percentile, 0 stars), below a district that itself ranks near the bottom statewide. Over the past decade, Tynan has consistently sat in the bottom fifth of state schools, with a modest bounce to the 18th percentile in 2022–23 and 2023–24 before slipping back to the 7th percentile in the last two years.

In 2025–2026 MCAS results, 15.73% of students at Tynan Elementary School met proficiency in English language arts, 12.36% in math, and 17.39% in science — below district and state rates. ELA and math have trended down over the last four tested years. Tynan Elementary School spends $31,907 per student, the highest among 11 nearby elementary schools, and has the lowest student–teacher ratio in that group at 8.6, yet its outcomes are among the lowest. The sharpest comparison is Perry Elementary School, less than half a mile away: with nearly identical enrollment and about $2,800 less per-pupil spending, it posts proficiency rates roughly three to four times higher and ranks in the 73rd percentile. Condon K-8 School, 0.75 miles away, performs more like the school profiled here.

Inside the school, results differ sharply by group. Female students rank around the 35th percentile statewide, while male students rank at the 2nd percentile — a wide, persistent gap. Special education students rank in the 4th–6th percentile range. The low-income subgroup was once a bright spot at the 38th percentile but has fallen to the 14th. Science is the school’s relatively strongest subject compared with nearby peers, but it is volatile because only fifth graders are tested in a small school. Parents should weigh the school’s long-running bottom-tenth ranking and resource–outcome gap against its small size and lower class sizes.
