Summary:
Roxbury Preparatory Charter (District) contains a single school, Roxbury Preparatory Charter School, which serves grades 5-12. The school has a diverse student population, with over 95% of students identifying as African American or Hispanic. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, graduation rates, and dropout rates, lags significantly behind state averages.
Roxbury Preparatory Charter School's MCAS proficiency rates in 10th grade are less than half the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is also lower than the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher. The school is ranked 315th out of 348 high schools in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Roxbury Preparatory Charter (District) as a whole is ranked 307th out of 351 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,636 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes. The school's challenges may be rooted in broader systemic factors, such as funding disparities or community-level issues, that are impacting its performance. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its students.
