KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School

KIPP Academy Lynn Charter (District)

Lynn is a diverse, working-class city on Massachusetts' North Shore, about 10 miles north of Boston along Massachusetts Bay. Once a thriving industrial hub known as the "City of Sin" (for its shoe manufacturing, not vice), Lynn has evolved into one of the state's most multicultural communities, with significant Latino, Cambodian, and other immigrant populations. The city's waterfront location provides access to Lynn Shore Reservation, a scenic stretch of beach and parkland along the coast.
