Summary

Brickett Elementary is a K–5 school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving about 318 students in a district that ranks 332nd of 351 statewide. In 2025–2026, Brickett ranked 853rd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (5th percentile, 0 stars). A decade earlier, in 2015–2016, it sat at the 42nd percentile; it dropped to the 3rd percentile by 2023–2024 and has hovered near the 5th percentile for the past two years.

In 2025–2026, proficiency rates were 11.27% in English language arts, 12.59% in math, and 23.4% in science, compared with state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Science is the relative bright spot: it beats the Lynn district average of 15.35% and ranks second among nearby same-district K–5 schools. Fifth grade outperformed the Lynn district in all three tested subjects, while younger grades lagged — 4th grade ELA was 6.38%, less than half the district average. Math has improved over two years (6.54% to 12.59%) and science reached its highest level in the years shown, but ELA has stayed flat and volatile.

Nearby schools cut both ways. Aborn, 0.91 miles away in the same district, ranks 410th of 899 with 48.54% ELA proficiency, and Swampscott Elementary School in the higher-ranked Swampscott district scores similarly high. Brickett had the highest per-student spending among same-district K–5 peers ($16,660 in 2020–2021) and one of the higher student-teacher ratios (12.6). Effectiveness rankings for specific groups remain low — special education students 683rd of 709, low-income students 675th of 742, and English learners 238th of 291.
