Summary

Greenhalge is a PK–4 elementary school serving 480 students in Lowell, Massachusetts, one of several neighborhood elementary schools in the city. It is part of the Lowell school district, which ranks 273 of 351 in Massachusetts (22nd percentile, 1 star).

In 2025–2026, Greenhalge ranks 752 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (16th percentile, 1 star), placing it in the bottom sixth of the state and below its own district's percentile. The school has historically ranked low, with percentiles mostly between 4 and 17 over the past decade, but 2025–2026 is a notable improvement over 2023–2024, when it ranked 882 of 916 (4th percentile, 0 stars). On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation all-grade tests, ELA proficiency was 20.14% (district 27.26%, state 40.03%) and math proficiency 27.08% (district 32.38%, state 41.11%). Both are below district and state averages, though math is closer to benchmarks than ELA.

Among nearby schools, Greenmont Avenue in Dracut, about 0.81 miles away, ranks 51st percentile with ELA 40.63% and math 38.54% despite spending far less per student ($13,188 vs. Greenhalge's $17,499). Lowell Community Charter Public School, 1.12 miles away, posts ELA 41.74% and math 37.53% (48th percentile). Within Lowell, Peter W Reilly and S Christa McAuliffe Elementary have higher ELA, while Moody Elementary and Charlotte M Murkland Elementary have much higher math. Greenhalge's student-teacher ratio (11.7) and per-student spending ($17,499) are more favorable than most nearby schools, yet outcomes trail. Subgroup results vary: English Language Learner students rank 50th percentile (3 stars), homeless students 64th percentile (4 stars, a small and volatile group), and low-income students 39th percentile, up from 12th in 2023–2024. Special education students rank low (18th percentile in 2024–2025, after 0th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024). The key challenge is sustaining recent gains while closing these gaps.
