Summary

Peter W Reilly is an elementary school located in Lowell, Massachusetts, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 461 students. The school is part of the Lowell school district, which is ranked 278 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peter W Reilly has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 519 and 768 out of around 900-940 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally below the Lowell district and Massachusetts state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Peter W Reilly has shown some strengths in specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who have ranked higher than the overall school ranking in recent years.

The nearby Rogers STEM Academy, John J Shaughnessy, and S Christa McAuliffe Elementary have similar academic performance and rankings to Peter W Reilly, suggesting a broader challenge within the Lowell district. However, the Lowell Community Charter Public School, which is outside the Lowell district, has outperformed the district schools in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating that factors beyond just the district may be at play.
