Summary:
Zip code 01840 covers a section of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and contains exactly one middle-level school in this data set: Henry K. Oliver Middle School, a grades 5–8 school at 183 Haverhill Street with 348 students, operating within the Lawrence district.
English Language Arts is the school's relative strength. In 2025-2026, 18.22% of students scored proficient in ELA, just above the district's 17.46% and the only all-grades subject where the school leads its district; it also came in at or above the district in 5th, 6th, and 8th grades, trailing only in 7th. The single strongest result is 8th grade Civics at 28.44% proficient, which is 11.71 points above the district — the largest positive district gap anywhere in the record — and up sharply from 16.81% the year before. Math is the clear weak point: 9.20% overall, below the district's 17.28% and below the district in every grade, from 5.36% in 7th grade to 17.59% in 8th. Science climbed from 3.60% to 12.32% year over year, though it is tested only in grades 5 and 8. The 8th grade cohort produces the school's best numbers in ELA, math, and civics.
By state ranking, the school earned 1 star and a 14th-percentile placement in 2025-2026 (413 of 478 schools), while its district sits at 4th percentile with 0 stars — so the school is a relative bright spot within a low-ranked district, even as both remain well below state proficiency levels in every subject. Resource figures look favorable: an 11.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $19,510 per student, though that spending number is from 2020-2021, five years older than the test data. The free/reduced lunch rate is not reported here, so no conclusions can be drawn about poverty levels. With roughly 85–90 students per grade, year-to-year changes can swing widely.
