Cobbet Elementary

Summary:

Cobbet Elementary is a public elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 602 students in grades PK-5. Despite its diverse student population, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Cobbet Elementary has struggled academically, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Lynn district and the state of Massachusetts.

Cobbet Elementary's academic performance is particularly concerning, with only 8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 13.09% in Mathematics, far below the state averages. The school's struggles are especially pronounced in 3rd and 5th grade, where proficiency rates are often less than half the state average. Additionally, certain student subgroups, such as Special Education and Low Socio-Economic Status students, perform in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools in these categories.

While Cobbet Elementary is one of the lower-performing schools in the Lynn district, some nearby schools, such as Sewell-Anderson and Lincoln-Thomson, perform significantly better, ranking in the top 50-60% of Massachusetts elementary schools. This suggests that systemic issues, such as curriculum, instruction, or school leadership, may be contributing to Cobbet's lack of academic progress, which has remained consistently low over the past several years.

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.

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.
