The Sizer School: A North Central Charter Essential School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on MCAS assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's ranking among Massachusetts high schools has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 269 to 309 out of 348 schools, indicating inconsistent performance. However, the school's graduation rate of 90.2% is relatively high, though the dropout rate of 7.3% is still a concern.
Despite the school's diverse student population, with a significant proportion of Hispanic and African American students, the school's academic performance suggests it may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and support for students in core subject areas. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,948 indicates the resources may not be effectively utilized, and the school should examine how it allocates and utilizes its financial resources to support student learning and achievement.
