Summary

Thurgood Marshall Mid is a public middle school located in Lynn, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,280 students. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools on academic assessments, with only 15.25% of students proficient or better in ELA, 11.38% in Math, and 12.54% in Science.

Thurgood Marshall Mid struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts middle schools for Asian, White, and Multi-racial students, and in the bottom 50% for Female, Male, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Nearby schools like Marblehead Community Charter Public School and Village School significantly outperform Thurgood Marshall Mid, with proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher across ELA, Math, and Science.

While Thurgood Marshall Mid spends more per student than the state average, it does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Nearby schools like Marblehead Veterans Middle School and Village School spend even more per student but achieve much higher proficiency rates. Addressing the root causes of Thurgood Marshall Mid's poor performance, such as instructional quality, school climate, and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving student success.
