Q: Is CityLab Innovation High School a good school?

CityLab Innovation High School ranks 238 th of 348 Massachusetts high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

CityLab Innovation High School is a public high school located in Revere, Massachusetts, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 95 students.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $26,441 and small class sizes, CityLab Innovation High School has consistently struggled with low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 17.6% to 41.4% over the past few years. This is significantly lower than the state average and the nearby Revere High School, which had an 85.7% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023. Correspondingly, CityLab Innovation High School has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 34.5% to 45.1% over the past five years, much higher than the state average and Revere High School's 6.9% dropout rate. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 29.03% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to 31.35% in the Revere district and 48.47% statewide.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as Charlestown High School, Excel Academy Charter School, and East Boston High School, CityLab Innovation High School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and dropout rates, but still lags behind in academic achievement as measured by MCAS scores. The school's challenges in improving student outcomes suggest that it may need to re-evaluate its strategies and interventions to better support its students.

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.
