Summary

Aborn Elementary is a K–5 school in Lynn, MA serving 224 students, the smallest elementary school in its immediate neighborhood, and it stands out as a bright spot within the Lynn school district, which ranks 332nd of 351 Massachusetts districts (5th percentile, 0 stars). In 2025–2026, Aborn ranked 410th of 899 state elementary schools (54th percentile, 3 stars). Its MCAS proficiency rates were 48.54% in English Language Arts, 37.86% in Math, and 42.42% in Science — above the state in ELA and Science, slightly below in Math, and far above the district average in all three subjects.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Every other Lynn elementary school near Aborn sits in the bottom 23% of the state or lower. Sewell-Anderson (23rd percentile) and Edward A Sisson (22nd percentile) come closest, while Hood, Tracy, Washington, Brickett, Robert L Ford, Ingalls, Cobbet, and E J Harrington all rank in the bottom 13%. In ELA, Aborn's 48.54% is more than 20 points above the next closest school; in Math it is nearly 12 points higher, and in Science almost 13 points higher. Notably, Aborn's spending per student ($16,062) and student–teacher ratio (11.5) are broadly similar to its neighbors, so resources and class size alone do not explain the difference.

Aborn's standout strength is its effectiveness with English Language Learners and low-income students, where it ranks in the top 5–20% of the state — including the 95th percentile for ELL students in both recent years. Math is the relative weak spot: 4th grade was strong (52.94% proficient vs. 43.2% statewide), but 3rd grade (33.33% vs. 42.19%) and 5th grade (27.27% vs. 39.5%) fell below state. Science dropped from 72.73% to 42.42%, still above state. Special education performance also slipped to the 27th percentile (1 star) in 2023–2024.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, October 4, 2013

As a parent, I'm impressed with Aborn. Excellent teachers, supportive environment for kids to learn and for parents to participate to the degree they can be involved. There is a real educational community here with administrators, teachers, students and parents - and the community at large. My son is thriving and is always excited to go to school. I found a gem in Aborn when it became clear that although Lynn Public Schools can't (so far) dedicate special attention to really academically advanced children since most of the funds and resources go to those who are behind, Aborn is flexible enough to adapt to my son's level and provide extra work and more challenging activities so he can remain interested and keep progressing to the level of his potential. I am SO happy to be part of the Aborn community! Close Quote
