Schools in Zip Code 01901

ZIP code 01901 in Lynn, Massachusetts contains just one school: Frederick Douglass Collegiate Academy, a small high school serving grades 6–12 with 235 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 in 2024–2025. Because there is only one school in the area, there is no local comparison to make — the useful context comes from how this school stacks up against the Lynn district and the state. The school's ranking history for 2025–2026 places it 206th out of 353 schools, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, while the Lynn district overall ranks 332nd out of 351, at the 5th percentile with 0 stars.

That gap is the headline for parents: this school substantially outperforms its district. In 10th-grade English Language Arts, 46.58% of students were proficient, versus 22.61% in the district and 45.48% statewide — slightly above the state. In Biology End of Course, 37.5% were proficient, essentially level with the state's 37.68% and more than double the district's 17.5%. Math and Science are a different story. Tenth-grade Math proficiency was 27.14% against the state's 43.73%, and 10th-grade Science was 26.23% against the state's 40.5% — both well above district averages but roughly 14–17 points below the state.

Science appears to be improving, though from a low base: 10th-grade Science went from 18.64% proficient in 2024–2025 (below the district's 20.45%) to 26.23% in 2025–2026, and Biology moved from 22.54% to 37.5%, though the grade scopes differ. One figure needs caution: the All Grades ELA and Math rows report 0% proficient, which conflicts sharply with the school's 10th-grade results and should be treated as a reporting anomaly rather than a summary of performance. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and the historical record is thin, so year-over-year comparisons should be made carefully.
