SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 899 Massachusetts Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

Summer Street is a K–4 elementary school in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, serving 440 students as one of two elementary schools in the Lynnfield district, about a mile from its counterpart, Huckleberry Hill. It ranks 49th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 95th percentile, or 5-star level — placing it squarely in the top 5% of the state, a rebound from 107th place in 2024–2025 and its best showing since 2022–2023.

Reading is the school's signature strength. Summer Street's English Language Arts proficiency of 71.79% is roughly 32 points above the state (40.03%) and about 10 points above its own district average (61.63%), and its 4th grade ELA figure of 75.73% is nearly double the state's 37.43%. The comparison with Huckleberry Hill is striking: the two Lynnfield schools serve the same grades for essentially the same per-student spending ($16,250 vs. $16,252) and are statistically tied in math (70.26% vs. 69.38%), yet Summer Street leads by 12 points in ELA overall and 21 points at 4th grade. The school also serves specific populations exceptionally well, ranking 19th of 709 schools statewide for special education students (97th percentile).

The clearest opportunity is math, where achievement has slipped from its 77.5% peak in 2022–2023 to 70.26%, and where 3rd grade math (68.48%) sits just below the district average (69.59%). L D Batchelder in North Reading is the only nearby school that outperforms Summer Street overall (98th–99th percentile), and the two are nearly identical in 3rd and 4th grade ELA; the entire gap lies in math (4th grade 71.84% vs. 85.14%, 3rd grade 68.48% vs. 80.60%). Notably, funding doesn't explain results here — Capt William G Shoemaker in Lynn spends $22,530 per student with 8.7 students per teacher yet posts just 28.39% ELA proficiency, while Summer Street achieves roughly 2.5× that on about $6,300 less per student.
