Aborn

Summary:

Aborn Elementary School is a public school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 217 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the Lynn school district is ranked 336 out of 351 districts in the state, Aborn consistently outperforms the district and state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Aborn's academic performance is particularly strong for its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, who rank in the top 5% and top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting and addressing the needs of its diverse student population. However, Aborn's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 4 stars in 2013-2014 to 2 stars in recent years, indicating that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other Massachusetts elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the Lynn district, Aborn stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly stronger academic outcomes. This highlights the potential for Aborn to serve as a model for other schools in the region, and its continued success suggests that it may have valuable insights and practices that could be shared with the broader educational community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote As a parent, I'm impressed with Aborn. Excellent teachers, supportive environment for kids to learn and for parents to participate to the degree they can be involved. There is a real educational community here with administrators, teachers, students and parents - and the community at large. My son is thriving and is always excited to go to school. I found a gem in Aborn when it became clear that although Lynn Public Schools can't (so far) dedicate special attention to really academically advanced children since most of the funds and resources go to those who are behind, Aborn is flexible enough to adapt to my son's level and provide extra work and more challenging activities so he can remain interested and keep progressing to the level of his potential. I am SO happy to be part of the Aborn community! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
