Summary:

ZIP code 01905 covers a Lynn, Massachusetts area with 10 public schools — eight elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving about 5,565 students, all within the Lynn district, which ranks 332 of 351 statewide and sits in the 5th percentile.

Performance varies widely even within this single ZIP. Sewell-Anderson is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 23rd percentile with all-grade ELA of 28.21%, math 25.64%, and science 24.39% — the highest elementary ELA and math results here, though still below state averages of 40.03% in ELA and 41.11% in math. Julia F Callahan stands out in math at 23.94% overall, with 4th-grade math at 40.91%, just 2.29 points below the state. Tracy is the science standout at 26.39%, and Lincoln-Thomson improved from the 6th to the 13th percentile. At the other end, Wm P Connery ranks in the 1st percentile with ELA 10.95% and math 4.40%, while William R Fallon, with only 30 students, reports 0% in ELA and math despite $57,840 per-pupil spending. Breed Middle School (math 9.16%) and Classical High (10th-grade math 16.16%, graduation 74.2%, dropout 22.8%) also face substantial challenges.

Several of the highest-ranked schools are trending downward — Sewell-Anderson from the 33rd to the 23rd percentile, Tracy from 22 to 10 — while Lincoln-Thomson and Classical High moved up slightly. Grade-level results sometimes far exceed school-wide figures, but small cohorts make those numbers volatile. Spending and class size show no simple relationship with outcomes, and free/reduced-lunch data are unknown for every school, so they cannot be analyzed.
