Summary

Pawtucketville Memorial is a PK–4 elementary school in Lowell, MA, serving 463 students as part of the Lowell district. Its 2025–2026 state rank is 639th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, placing it in the 29th percentile with 1 star, continuing a long decline from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2016–2017, with only a modest rebound in 2021–2022. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 27.91% of students were proficient in ELA and 33.72% in math, slightly above Lowell district averages but below statewide averages; math results are closer to the state than ELA results.

Compared with nearby schools, Pawtucketville Memorial is mid-to-lower in the local group. Charles W Morey and Dr Gertrude Bailey score much higher in both ELA and math, and Washington also outperforms it. Brookside Elementary, George H. Englesby Elementary School, and Lowell Community Charter Public School rank higher as well, while Abraham Lincoln, Joseph McAvinnue, and Bartlett Community Partnership rank lower in 2025–2026, and Charlotte M Murkland Elementary is roughly comparable. Grade-level results are uneven: 3rd grade is above the Lowell district average in both ELA and math, but 4th grade falls below it in both. Spending data from 2020–2021 shows $16,734 per student, lower than most nearby Lowell elementary schools but much higher than nearby Dracut schools; its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is higher than most nearby Lowell elementary schools. Note free/reduced lunch data was blank, and spending is dated.

Overall, the school is a low performer with one major bright spot. English Language Learner students rank in the 90th–95th percentile statewide across three years, with 5-star ratings each year, far above the school’s overall standing. Results for other student groups are uneven: low-socioeconomic-status students have declined from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024 to 42nd in 2025–2026, while special education students rank at the 18th percentile. The main challenge is translating the school’s strong English Language Learner effectiveness more broadly across grades and student groups.
