Summary

Cobbet Elementary is a PK–5 school in Lynn, Massachusetts serving 616 students as part of Lynn Public Schools, a district ranked 332 of 351 in the state. Cobbet has sat near the bottom of Massachusetts elementary schools for years: 874 of 899 (3rd percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026, with similar results the three years before. Even its best recent year, 2018–2019, was still only 759 of 942.

In 2025–2026, MCAS proficiency was 7.51% in English language arts, 10.92% in math, and 3.16% in science — below the district (16.30%, 14.02%, and 15.35%) and far below the state (around 40–41%). Cobbet was below every standard nearby K–5 school in ELA and science, including E J Harrington (8.80% ELA) and Sewell-Anderson (28.21% ELA, 25.64% math, 24.39% science). Science fell from 24.24% in 2023–2024 to 3.16% in 2025–2026, now the lowest among nearby schools.

There are bright spots: 4th grade math reached 25.25% proficient, above the district's 19.59% and above Robert L Ford, E J Harrington, Ingalls, Washington Elementary School, and Wm P Connery. Cobbet's student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is lower than most nearby schools, and per-student spending is mid-range. Even so, the school's measured effectiveness for the student groups it serves is very low, and its relative effectiveness for English language learners dropped from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 4th percentile in 2025–2026. Third grade math, 5th grade ELA, and 5th grade science are especially weak.
