Summary:

Zip code 01841 covers 17 schools in Lawrence, Massachusetts — 10 elementary, 5 middle, 1 high school, and 1 alternative program — serving roughly 7,492 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Two charter schools operate here: Community Day Charter Public School (1,200 students) and Lawrence Family Development Charter School (899 students), together about 28% of enrollment. The remaining schools belong to the Lawrence district.

Community Day Charter Public School is the clear standout: ranked 135 of 351 (3 stars), it is the only school here above the state average in every reported all-grade subject — ELA 42.48% vs state 40.03%, math 49.04% vs 41.11%, science 44.93% vs 40.98%, and civics 55.56% vs 39.77%. Its 8th-grade results are especially strong (math 63.89%, ELA 56.07%), though 4th-grade ELA (31.4%) and 5th-grade science (38.38%) fall below state. By contrast, Lawrence Family Development Charter School ranks 313 of 351 and sits below state in every subject (ELA 27.2%, math 22.0%, science 22.97%, civics 28.79%).

In the Lawrence district (ranked 337 of 351), proficiency runs roughly 22–24 points below state. Relative bright spots include Parthum Middle School, which leads district middle schools in ELA (25.6%) and math (27.7%); John K Tarbox, with the top district math score (31.71%); and Guilmette Middle School, ahead in science (21.86%) and civics (22.81%). At the low end, Arlington Elementary (math 5.61%), Gerard A. Guilmette (math 8.7%), and Francis M Leahy Middle (ELA 6.53%, math 5.99%) rank near the bottom of the state. Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable for every school, so poverty context is missing, and several schools serving only PK–2 grades report no test scores.
