Summary

Huckleberry Hill is a K–4 elementary school in Lynnfield, MA, serving 416 students at 5 Knoll Road in a district ranked 39th of 351 statewide. Statewide, Huckleberry Hill ranked 115th of 899 elementary schools in 2025–2026, putting it in the 87th percentile with 4 stars. That is a strong result, though the school has cooled from its peak: it sat in the 96th–98th percentile several times between 2015–2016 and 2020–2021, dipped to the 77th percentile in 2022–2023, rebounded to the 93rd in 2023–2024, and has since settled in the 87th–88th range.

Math is the school's clearest strength. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency rate of 69.38% is roughly 28 points above the state average and slightly above the Lynnfield district average, and close to Summer Street's 70.26%, though below Walton's 79.01%. English Language Arts is a different story: at 59.75% proficient, it is about 20 points above the state but about 2 points below the district and about 12 points below Summer Street. Against nearby Wakefield schools, Huckleberry Hill trails Walton and Greenwood but clearly outperforms Dolbeare and Woodville School. Compared with nearby Peabody and Lynn schools, it is in a different tier entirely — its proficiency rates often run 20–40 points higher.

Looking inside the school, 4th-grade ELA is the relative weak spot: 54.88% proficient versus the district's 66.13% and Summer Street's 75.73%. Third-grade math, by contrast, is stronger than Summer Street's. Subgroup results show broad effectiveness — including strong marks for low-income, special education, and disabled students in several years — with a persistent gender gap: female students rank around the 92nd–97th percentile while male students rank around the 75th–85th. Notably, per-student spending ($16,252) is mid-pack nearby and the student–teacher ratio of 13.4 is higher than many surrounding schools, so results appear driven by district context and school practices rather than unusually high resources.
