Summary

Fenway High School is a public high school located in Roxbury, Massachusetts, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 376 students. The school is part of the Boston Public School District, which is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Fenway High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools, with a ranking between 250-307 out of 342-349 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time.

Fenway High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with consistently lower performance compared to state and district averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments for 10th grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.88% of Fenway 10th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.66% statewide and 39.73% in Boston. The school's performance is particularly low in Science, with only 12.64% of 10th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 45.89% statewide and 32.63% in Boston. Fenway High School also struggles with Physics, with only 12.5% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 44.25% statewide and 16.58% in Boston.

While Fenway High School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby high-performing schools like Boston Latin School and O'Bryant School of Math & Science, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Madison Park Technical Vocational High School and the charter schools in the area, in terms of academic achievement and graduation rates. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $22,415 to $25,858 over the past few years, suggests that it may be struggling to translate its resources into improved student outcomes.
