Summary

Lynnfield Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 698 students in Lynnfield, a suburban district north of Boston that ranks 39th of 351 Massachusetts school districts. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 63rd of 478 middle schools statewide — the 87th percentile, with 4 stars — its best showing since 2020–2021 and a clear rebound from 85th the year before.

Test scores sit well above state averages in every subject. Math proficiency is 67.58%, about 26 points above the state figure; science is 62.64% and civics 67.04%, both roughly 21–27 points above state. English language arts, at 60.00%, is the relative soft spot after slipping from 64.53% the prior year, though it remains about 20 points above the state average. Among 11 nearby middle schools, Lynnfield ranks third overall, behind North Reading Middle and Arthur W Coolidge Middle, but ahead of Melrose Middle, Galvin Middle School, Stoneham Central Middle School, and the Peabody, Woburn, Saugus, and Lynn middle schools. Math is a particular strength: eighth-grade math reaches 72.22%, second only to North Reading among these peers.

The school's measured results for specific student groups are also notable: it ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide for low-income students (5 stars) and the 91st percentile for female students (5 stars), with special education students at the 77th percentile. Other measured groups land closer to the middle of the state distribution. Resources are mid-range — a 12.6 student-teacher ratio and $16,398 per student — yet the school outperforms higher-spending neighbors such as John F Kennedy Middle School and Saugus Middle School. One caveat for comparisons: Lynnfield serves grades 5–8 while many nearby schools serve grades 6–8, and free/reduced-price lunch data were suppressed for this school, so these comparisons are descriptive rather than causal.
