Summary:
The Academy of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School is the sole high school in the Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public (District) in Massachusetts. Despite its high graduation rate and low dropout rate, the school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average, and it has a low statewide ranking compared to other Massachusetts high schools.
The school's diverse student population, with 64.88% African American and 26.55% Hispanic students, is served by a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $21,216. However, the school's district is ranked 342 out of 351 in Massachusetts and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader systemic challenges in the area's educational system.
While the school's high graduation rate and low dropout rate indicate that it may be providing additional support and resources to help students succeed, the combination of low test scores and strong non-academic outcomes could suggest a focus on supporting students' social-emotional well-being and overall development, rather than solely emphasizing test scores. To better understand the school's performance and the factors contributing to its challenges, more information on the school's programs, initiatives, and strategies, as well as the broader educational landscape in the district and state, would be helpful.
