Summary

Edward A Sisson is a PK–5 elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 449 students as part of Lynn Public Schools, a district ranked 332 of 351 in the state (5th percentile, 0 stars). In 2025–2026, Sisson ranked 699 of 899 Massachusetts schools — the 22nd percentile, with 1 star. That is a small step up from 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, but it remains far below the school's earlier standing, when it sat at the 51st–73rd percentile with 3–4 stars.

In 2025–2026, Sisson's MCAS proficiency was above the Lynn district average in all three tested subjects — ELA 25.79% vs. 16.30%, math 25.91% vs. 14.02%, and science 29.63% vs. 15.35% — yet still well below state averages of roughly 40–41%. Math reached its highest recent level, and science rebounded sharply after a weak 2024–2025, when it fell slightly below the district. ELA remains the shakier area: 25.79% is below both the prior year and 2022–2023, and about 14 points under the state. Third, fourth, and fifth graders all beat district averages in every subject, but each still trailed the state.

Nearby, Aborn is the standout — 54th percentile with 3 stars and higher proficiency in every subject — and Lynn Woods also outperforms Sisson. Sewell-Anderson is closely matched, while Sisson outperforms Hood, Robert L Ford, Tracy, Cobbet Elementary, and Ingalls. Sisson's relative effectiveness is stronger for some student groups than its overall rank suggests, though results for English Language Learner students dropped noticeably. Sisson spent $16,246 per student in 2020–2021, similar to most nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8 in 2024–2025. Note that free/reduced lunch data are unavailable, spending figures end in 2020–2021, and William R Fallon's 0% results reflect only 30 students.
