Summary

Sewell-Anderson is an elementary school located in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 271 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Lynn school district and the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 16.86% and 14.48% for the district, respectively.

Sewell-Anderson's strong performance extends to specific student subgroups as well, with the school ranking 210 out of 458 Massachusetts elementary schools for Hispanic students, 61 out of 281 for English Language Learners, and 494 out of 736 for students of low socioeconomic status, all with 3 or 4 stars. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,648 in the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 in the 2023-2024 school year may contribute to its success.

While Sewell-Anderson outperforms nearby Lincoln-Thomson, Cobbet Elementary, and other schools in the Lynn district, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics, where the school's proficiency rates are still below the state average. Overall, Sewell-Anderson appears to be a relatively strong-performing elementary school within the Lynn district, with a focus on supporting the academic needs of diverse student populations.
