Summary

Edward A Sisson is an elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 427 students. The school is part of the Lynn school district, which is ranked 331 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edward A Sisson consistently ranks in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, typically ranking between 600-800 out of around 900 schools. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is significantly below the state averages across all grades and subjects, with only 27.73% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.53%. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a diverse student population with a significant proportion of Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students.

Despite having relatively high spending per student, around $16,000, and a low student-teacher ratio of around 12 students per teacher, Edward A Sisson performs worse on academic measures than other elementary schools in the Lynn district and the nearby Peabody district. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership.
