Lynn English High School (LEHS) is a public high school located at 50 Goodridge Street in the eastern section of Lynn, Massachusetts, United States. It is a part of Lynn Public Schools, and the largest school in the Lynn school system.[2]
The name "Lynn English High School" comes from the Boston area secondary education practice of establishing an English secondary school to provide working-class students with curriculum designed to prepare for entry into the workforce directly from high school. This was in contrast to Latin or Classical secondary schools, which provided education on the classics for future academic pursuits such as college, ministry, and further academia. Lynn Classical High School, located in West Lynn, offered a classical education option to Lynn students when it opened. Throughout the later 1900s, the curriculum across Lynn high schools was standardized; currently, both schools offer college preparatory curriculum.
In 2019, the student population was 1,786 according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education School Report Card.[3] According to the most recent graduation data in the report card, in 2018 the 4-year graduation rate was 72.7%. Lynn English's faculty consists of 1 principal, 3 vice principals, 8 department heads, 6 guidance counselors, 93 teachers, 1 librarian, and 3 paraprofessionals.[4]
