Lynn Public School District Classified as Making Substantial Progress Toward State Targets

Last year, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) revised its accountability and assistance system to consider additional metrics aside from standardized test scores.

As previously noted, schools are no longer classified in Levels 1 through 5 and are instead classified according to the categories below:

Source: One Page Summary of Massachusetts' Accountability System


In 2018, Lynn as a district was classified as 'Not Requiring Assistance or Intervention' and the same was true in 2019. Further, the reason for this year's classification was 'Substantial Progress Towards Targets.' The percentage assigned to Lynn  in 2019 associated with this classification based on the 0 to 100 scale was 64%. When weighted along with last year's percentage, the cumulative target percentage was 56%.

In looking at the 'points' received for the indicators above, Lynn received 71% of possible points for non-high school grades (78% for the lowest performing students at this grade level) and 47% for high school grades (50% for the lowest performing students). At the high school level, Lynn received 4 out of 4 points for the chronic absenteeism indicator but 0 out of 4 points for the advanced coursework completion indicator.

At the individual school level, three-quarters of the schools in Lynn were considered as either making 'substantial progress toward targets' or 'meeting or exceeding targets.' Three schools were classified as 'Requiring Assistance or Intervention:' Lynn Classical High School, Thurgood Marshall Middle School and Washington Elementary School.

Lynn MCAS Results 2014: Part II

Below are proficiency rates on the 2014 MCAS by school at the elementary level; also included is each school's Accountability and Assistance Level. Accountability levels are as follows:
  • Level 1:  On track to college and career readiness
  • Level 2:  Not meeting gap closing goals
  • Level 3:  Focus: Lowest performing 20% of schools (including schools with the largest gaps)
  • Level 4:  Priority: Lowest performing schools
  • Level 5:  Priority: Chronically under-performing schools
Positive or negative numbers in parentheses in the 'ALL' field represent the percent change from 2013. 'School Performance' refers to the school's overall performance relative to other schools statewide that serve the same grade span (percentiles range from 1 - 99). For example, a school performance that is greater than 75% of schools serving common grades statewide is at the 75th percentile.

All numbers are in percentages.
