Summary

Lynn English High is a public high school in Lynn, MA serving grades 9–12 with 2,062 students — the largest enrollment in its local comparison set — and is part of the Lynn school district, which ranks 332 of 351 in Massachusetts. The school's own 2025–2026 statewide rank is 317 of 353 (10th percentile, 1 star), a slight improvement from 326 of 349 (7th percentile, 0 stars) the year before, but still in the bottom decile of Massachusetts high schools; over the past decade it has generally sat between the 6th and 16th percentiles.

Academically, 10th-grade MCAS proficiency rates in 2025–2026 were low across all core subjects: 17.06% in ELA, 11.58% in math, 14.29% in science, and 16.43% in Biology, compared with state rates of 45.48%, 43.73%, 40.50%, and 37.68%. Math is the weakest area — about one-quarter of the state rate. Lynn English trails nearby Classical High and Lynn Vocational Technical Institute on most measures, and is far behind Swampscott High and Marblehead High, which post 50–70% proficiency in many subjects. ELA proficiency also fell sharply, from 25.90% in 2023–2024 to 17.06% in 2025–2026.

Completion outcomes are the biggest red flag: in 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 72.8% and the dropout rate 24.7%, both worse than the Lynn district (75.6% and 20.2%) and far above nearby Lynn Vocational Technical Institute (99.3% and 0.0%), Salem High (89.5% and 4.4%), and Swampscott High (94.5% and 1.8%). The dropout rate more than doubled from 12.2% in 2023–2024. A relative bright spot: English Language Learner students rank at the 47th percentile with 2 stars, well above the school's overall 10th percentile and higher than in prior years. Lynn English also has the largest enrollment, a student-teacher ratio of 15.0, and per-student spending of $14,421 — lower than every listed nearby school with spending data.
