Summary:
ZIP code 01119 in Springfield contains two public elementary schools — Glickman Elementary (PK–5, 310 students) and Mary M Lynch (PK–5, 216 students) — both part of the Springfield district, serving 526 elementary students combined with no middle or high school in the ZIP.
The two schools have complementary strengths rather than one clearly outperforming the other. Mary M Lynch is the relative English language arts standout, with all-grade ELA proficiency of 27.84% versus Glickman's 20.16% in 2025–2026, and its 5th grade ELA result of 40.63% is above the state's 38.15% and far above the district's 25.90% — the clearest bright spot in this data. Glickman is the relative math standout, with all-grade math proficiency of 22.66% versus Lynch's 16.49%, and it outperforms Lynch in every tested math grade. Science is nearly tied at 25.58% for Glickman and 25.00% for Lynch. In 2024–2025, Glickman led in all three subjects, and both schools then posted much stronger science results (43.48% and 37.04%) than in 2025–2026.
For context, both schools remain below Massachusetts statewide proficiency in every 2025–2026 all-grade subject and are low-ranked overall: Glickman sits at the 15th percentile and Lynch at the 18th percentile among ranked Massachusetts schools, each with 1 star, within a district ranked 322 of 351 (8th percentile, 0 stars). Glickman spends more per pupil ($20,454 vs. $19,088, from 2020–2021) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (9.8 vs. 11.3), but that does not translate into uniformly higher scores. Note also that all-grade science appears to reflect 5th grade only, and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for both schools.
