Summary:
The city of East Boston, Massachusetts is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools and 2 high schools, all part of the Boston school district. The district is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in the quality of education across the system.
A few schools stand out in the data. Excel Academy Charter School is the highest-performing school, ranking 84th out of 349 Massachusetts high schools, with a 92.3% graduation rate and a 6.4% dropout rate. It also outperforms the district and state averages on MCAS test scores across all subjects and grade levels. Among the elementary schools, Bradley Elementary School and Alighieri Dante Montessori School are the top performers, ranking 155th and 332nd out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, and exceeding the district and state averages on MCAS tests.
However, the performance gap between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools is significant. While the standout schools are excelling, many of the other elementary schools and East Boston High School are struggling to meet the district and state averages, with some schools having proficiency rates well below 50%. The wide range in spending per student, from $19,548 at Excel Academy Charter School to $31,906 at East Boston Early Education Center, suggests that the funding and resource allocation across the district may be uneven, contributing to these disparities in school performance.
