Summary:
ZIP code 01851 in Lowell, Massachusetts contains nine schools serving students from elementary through high school — four elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and two alternative or therapeutic programs — with a combined enrollment of about 3,744 students. Most belong to the Lowell district, which ranks 273 of 351 districts statewide (22nd percentile, 1 star). Collegiate Charter School of Lowell is its own charter district and is the largest school in the ZIP with 1,212 students, roughly a third of all enrollment.
The strongest performer is James S Daley Middle School, ranked 112 of 478 (77th percentile, 4 stars), beating the state in ELA (42.86%) and Math (50.76%). Charles W Morey made the biggest jump, climbing from the 39th to the 67th percentile, with the ZIP's highest all-grades Math result (58.39%). Dr Gertrude Bailey is steady and above state in Math (50.32%), while Washington sits below state in both subjects (ELA 34.57%, Math 38.27%).
Collegiate Charter is large but below state in ELA (29.44%), Math (22.08%), and Science (28.23%), though it improved year over year. Abraham Lincoln is the weakest elementary school — 759 of 899, 16th percentile, 1 star — and declined in both ELA and Math. The Career Academy posts a 48.1% graduation rate and a 33.3% dropout rate, far worse than the district's 80.2% and 12.3%. Dr. Janice Adie Day School and Laura Lee Therapeutic Day School are tiny specialized settings with very high per-student spending and reported 0% proficiency, so their scores aren't comparable. Science is a broad weakness, and free/reduced-lunch data are unavailable.
