Summary:
The East Boston, Massachusetts school district consists of 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The district is part of the Boston school system, which is ranked 305 out of 351 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the data. Excel Academy Charter School is a high-performing charter school that ranks 128 out of 348 Massachusetts high schools, with a 99.4% 4-year graduation rate and strong test scores that exceed state and district averages. Bradley Elementary School is the highest-ranked elementary school, ranking 173 out of 916 in the state, with 56-68% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Alighieri Dante Montessori School has seen significant improvement, going from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, and also has test scores above district and state averages.
However, many of the other East Boston schools struggle, with test proficiency rates well below state levels. There is a wide gap in performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, suggesting significant inequities in educational outcomes within the district. Factors like spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to directly correlate with test score performance, indicating that other elements may be at play. Addressing these disparities and improving educational quality across the Boston school district will be an important priority for the East Boston community.
