High Schools in Chelsea

The Chelsea school district in Massachusetts is home to three high schools: Chelsea High, Chelsea Opportunity Academy, and Chelsea Virtual Learning Academy. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the Chelsea school district.

Among the three high schools, Chelsea Virtual Learning Academy stands out with a higher 4-year graduation rate of 63.2% compared to Chelsea High at 76.0% and Chelsea Opportunity Academy at just 15.6%. The Virtual Learning Academy also has a lower dropout rate of 5.3%, while Chelsea Opportunity Academy struggles with a significantly higher dropout rate of 26.6%.

Despite being the largest school with 1,611 students, Chelsea High has MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are well below the state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve academic performance. In contrast, Chelsea Virtual Learning Academy appears to be providing a more effective learning environment, with higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates compared to the other two schools.
