Summary

Lynch Elementary is a PK–5 school in Winchester, MA, serving 426 students as part of the highly ranked Winchester district (rank 7 of 351 statewide). In 2025–2026, Lynch ranked 48 of 899 elementary schools in Massachusetts, placing in the 95th percentile with 5 stars. This is a strong rebound toward its historical top-decile performance, though it ranks fifth among the five Winchester elementary schools shown because all are exceptionally strong.

On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, Lynch scored 73.58% in ELA and 73.33% in math, far above state averages and near or above the Winchester district average. ELA is a clear strength, especially in 3rd grade, where Lynch’s 89.55% was the highest among Winchester peers. Science is a relative weakness: 64.00% compared to the district’s 75.23% and below every same-district peer. Grade 5 is also a pressure point, with ELA at 60.00% and math at 69.86%, both below most same-district peers. Still, these results are well above state averages.

Compared to nearby non-Winchester schools, Lynch dramatically outperforms Woburn elementary schools like Malcolm White, Goodyear Elementary School, Hurld-Wyman Elementary School, Shamrock, and Clyde Reeves in all subjects. Against M Norcross Stratton in Arlington, Lynch scores higher in ELA and math but lower in science. Subgroup effectiveness is notable: Lynch ranks in the 96th percentile for special education students and 93rd for low-SES students. Its student-teacher ratio is 10.7, the lowest among Winchester peers, and per-student spending was $17,122 in 2020–2021. Caveats: free/reduced lunch data are unavailable, spending figures are old, and the science and 5th-grade gaps are relative to an exceptionally strong district.
