Summary:

ZIP code 01904 in Lynn, MA contains four schools — three elementary schools and one middle school, with no high school in the ZIP — and all four belong to the Lynn district, which ranks 332 of 351 districts statewide, placing it in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Together they enroll 1,546 students: 963 at the elementary level and 583 in middle school. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, so that context is unavailable.

Among the four, Lynn Woods stands out with the highest 2025–2026 rank percentile at 39 (2 stars); its all-grade ELA proficiency of 39.29% is only 0.74 points below the state's 40.03%, and its science score of 38.46% is 2.52 points below the state. Capt William G Shoemaker follows at the 30th percentile (2 stars), with the ZIP's highest all-grade math proficiency at 30.52%, the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.7) and the highest per-student spending ($22,530). Edward A Sisson ranks 22nd percentile, up from 17th, with math improving from 20.92% to 25.91% and science from 17.98% to 29.63%. Pickering Middle lags at the 16th percentile (1 star), posting the lowest ELA (19.03%), math (16.96%) and science (12.86%) results in the group, along with sharp declines in science and civics.

Overall, these schools exceed district averages in most subjects but mostly remain below state averages; only Lynn Woods is near state level in ELA and science. The middle school is the clear weak point and is the only middle school in the ZIP. The two highest-ranked schools are also the two smallest, though small enrollment can make scores volatile — Lynn Woods' science fell from 62.5% to 38.46%. Spending and class-size patterns are suggestive rather than conclusive, and the spending figures date from 2020–2021.
