Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends more per student than the state average, at $12,849 per student for the 2018-2019 school year. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year, which could be a positive factor. However, these factors have not translated into stronger academic outcomes for Boston School, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.
