Summary

Boston Preparatory Charter Public School is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Hyde Park, MA, with 695 students. While the school was once ranked highly in the state, it has seen a decline in recent years, now ranking #294 out of 349 Massachusetts high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Boston Preparatory Charter Public School has consistently lower proficiency rates than the state average in all subjects and grade levels, particularly in Mathematics. Compared to nearby schools like Milton High, which consistently ranks in the top 30 high schools in Massachusetts, Boston Preparatory Charter Public School performs significantly worse academically despite spending more per student.

The school's wide performance gaps between different student subgroups are concerning, with English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing particularly poorly. While the school's overall graduation rate is relatively high, its dropout rate has been as high as 2.0% in recent years. The school's leadership should focus on addressing these disparities and improving academic outcomes for all students.
