Summary

Wm P Connery is an elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 554 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lynn school district, which is ranked 331 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wm P Connery consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools based on its statewide ranking history. Its proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Massachusetts elementary schools for female, male, Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite spending more per student ($15,497 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, this higher spending does not translate to improved academic outcomes.

While the nearby schools in the Lynn district also struggle academically, some, such as Tracy and Sewell-Anderson, perform significantly better than Wm P Connery on MCAS assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Wm P Connery to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the district.
