Summary

Wm P Connery is a K–5 elementary school serving 563 students in the Lynn district in Lynn, MA, and it currently ranks 887 of 899 Massachusetts schools — the 1st percentile, with a 0-star rating.

Test results are very low across the board. In 2025–26, 10.95% of students met expectations in English language arts, 4.4% in math, and 7.89% in science, compared with district rates of 16.3%, 14.02%, and 15.35% and state rates near 40%. Math is the sharpest weakness: 3rd grade sits at 2.94% and 5th grade at 2.63%, the lowest among nearby standard elementary schools. Several nearby Lynn schools do considerably better. Sewell-Anderson outperforms Connery by 17.26 points in ELA, 21.24 points in math, and 16.5 points in science, while Julia F Callahan, Lincoln-Thomson, and Tracy also exceed it in all three subjects. Cobbet Elementary is the exception, lower in ELA and science but slightly higher in math and overall.

This is not a one-year dip. Connery's statewide percentile has slid from 29th in 2015–16 to 1st in 2025–26 and has sat in the bottom 4% since 2022–23. Its highest reported subgroup standing is for English language learners, at the 14th percentile; low-income students are at the 1st percentile and homeless students at the 0th, last among 22 schools with reported data. Per-student spending was $15,497 in 2020–21 with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio — mid-range locally, so resources do not obviously explain the gap. Note that free/reduced lunch figures were unavailable, and William R Fallon (30 students, $57,840 per student) is a small-school outlier not usefully compared with Connery.
