Lowell, Massachusetts — a historic mill city and birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution — is known for its cultural diversity and as the hometown of author Jack Kerouac. With over 115,000 residents, Lowell Public Schools serves approximately 14,000 students across 28 schools. Elementary proficiency rates remain a concern, averaging around 32% in reading and 28% in math. However, schools like the Bartlett Community Partnership School are showing growth, nearing 50% proficiency.
The district’s graduation rate has improved to 85%, supported by dual-language programs, early college partnerships, and newcomer academies for multilingual learners. Despite facing significant economic and language-related challenges, Lowell continues to implement equity-centered strategies aimed at closing achievement gaps and fostering academic success across its diverse student population.
