KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School

KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School is the best elementary school and part of the KIPP Massachusetts network and is located on High Rock Street in Lynn, Massachusetts. It serves 271 students in grades K–12. The school has about 14:1 students for every teacher, which means that students get a lot of help with their schoolwork and can learn at their own pace. About 27% of students are good at math and 37% students are proficient at reading. This is lower than the Massachusetts state average of about 42%, but much higher than the Lynn district average of 17%. Nearby schools like Lynn Woods Elementary and Sewell-Anderson Elementary report that about 42% and 37% of their students are good at math, respectively. Depending on the neighborhood and the amenities, a 3-bedroom rental in Lynn usually costs between $2,800 and $3,400 per month. Many of the students who graduate from KIPP Academy Lynn High School go on to well-known colleges, but there aren't any well-known public figures among its alumni yet.

New Partnership for Civic Leadership (November 2025): KIPP Massachusetts has teamed up with Leadership for Educational Equity (LEE).
