Summary:
ZIP code 01852 is home to six elementary schools in Lowell, Massachusetts — five in the Lowell district plus one charter school — serving students from pre-kindergarten or kindergarten through either 4th or 8th grade, with 3,374 students enrolled in total.
Lowell Community Charter Public School is the clear standout: its all-grades ELA score of 41.74% is the only one above the state's 40.03%, and it also leads the group in science (29.94%) and 8th-grade civics (35.53%), with the best 2025–2026 rank at 467 of 899 (48th percentile, 2 stars). Moody Elementary, the smallest school at 248 students, has the strongest math result — 41.67%, above the state's 41.11% — and the single highest grade-level score in the data set, 61.11% in 4th-grade math, though its ELA of 25.00% is below both the district's 27.26% and the state's 40.03%. Pyne Arts is the top Lowell district school in ELA at 37.10%, helped by 3rd-grade ELA at 50.00%. Rogers STEM Academy has the largest enrollment (892) but the lowest results in every subject — ELA 20.65%, math 25.00%, science 19.32% — and the lowest rank at the 17th percentile with 1 star. John J Shaughnessy and Peter W Reilly sit in the middle, both above the Lowell district math average.
Science is a shared weakness: all three K–8 schools fall well below the state's 40.98%. Rank trends are mixed — Moody, Shaughnessy and the charter have improved, while Reilly and Pyne slipped after gains. Notably, spending and class size do not line up neatly with results: Rogers has the lowest per-pupil spending and highest student–teacher ratio, yet the charter performs well with the second-lowest spending. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank, so economic context is unknown, and spending data is from 2020–2021.
