Summary:
The Baystate Academy Charter Public School is the only high school located within the Baystate Academy Charter Public School (District) in Massachusetts. The school serves grades 9-12 and has consistently performed below state averages on academic measures such as MCAS test scores.
Baystate Academy Charter Public School's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.31% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 56.86%. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 87.0%, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 9.3%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,162 for the 2020-2021 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 to 1 for the 2022-2023 school year, its academic outcomes do not seem to reflect the investment in resources. The school's ranking among Massachusetts high schools is quite low, ranging from 300 to 339 out of 342 to 348 schools in recent years, indicating a lack of significant improvement or progress in addressing the underlying issues and improving student outcomes.
