Summary

Julia F Callahan is a PK–5 elementary school with 373 students at 200 O'Callaghan Way in Lynn, MA, part of the Lynn school district, which ranked 332 of 351 districts in Massachusetts (5th percentile, 0 stars). Callahan itself ranked 735 of 899 schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 18th percentile, with 1 star — so it sits in the bottom quarter statewide while still ranking above its own district overall.

Among nearby Lynn elementaries with current data, Callahan is the second-highest ranked, behind only Sewell-Anderson and ahead of Lincoln-Thomson, Tracy, A Drewicz, Washington Elementary School, Cobbet Elementary, and Wm P Connery. Its ELA (22.75%) and Math (23.94%) proficiency rates are above the district averages (16.3% and 14.02%) but below state averages (40.03% and 41.11%). Science is the clearest weakness at 13.85%, below the district's 15.35% and far below the state's 40.98%, and down sharply from 33.33% the prior year. Results also vary by grade: 4th grade Math stood out at 40.91%, close to the state rate, while 5th grade was weak across the board (ELA 12.31%, Math 6.15%, Science 13.85%).

The school's strongest results appear among its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide with 4 stars in 2025–2026 — well above Callahan's overall standing — while Hispanic students ranked at the 54th percentile. Special Education students rose to the 42nd percentile and low-income students to the 43rd percentile, up from the 21st–22nd and 25th in earlier years. Resources look relatively favorable: a student–teacher ratio of 9.5 is lower than most nearby Lynn elementaries, and per-student spending was $17,757 in 2020–2021, higher than several nearby schools.
