Dearborn 6-12 STEM Academy

Summary:

Dearborn 6-12 STEM Academy is a public high school located in Roxbury, MA that serves grades 6-12 with a student population of 541. The school is part of the Boston Public School District, which is ranked 305 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dearborn 6-12 STEM Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. Its proficiency rates on MCAS exams are significantly lower than the state and Boston district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.99% of Dearborn students were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 39.17%. The school has also seen fluctuations in its 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 69.6% to 92.0% over the past 5 years, and its dropout rate has varied widely, from 2.0% to 13.0%. These metrics are generally worse than the state and Boston district averages.

Despite spending over $27,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, Dearborn 6-12 STEM Academy continues to underperform academically. The school is located in close proximity (less than 1 mile) to several higher-performing schools, such as O'Bryant School of Math & Science, Boston Latin Academy, and Boston Collegiate Charter School, which have significantly stronger academic outcomes, graduation rates, and student group performance compared to Dearborn. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
