Best Public Schools in Revere, MA

Revere, Massachusetts has 11 public schools—six elementary, three middle, and two high schools—serving about 7,261 students in the Revere district, which ranks 295th of 351 in Massachusetts at the 16th percentile with 1 star. Individual school results vary widely despite that district context, with current rank percentiles ranging from 17th at Abraham Lincoln to 56th at Beachmont Veterans Memorial School. The free/reduced-lunch field is blank for every school, so poverty comparisons cannot be made from this data.

Beachmont Veterans Memorial School is the clearest standout: 346 students, 3 stars, 56th percentile, improving rank, and All Grades math proficiency of 51.03%, above the state’s 41.11% and district’s 27.59%; ELA is 39.31%, just below the state’s 40.03% but far above the district’s 24.17%. Among middle schools, Garfield Middle School leads at the 40th percentile with 2 stars and beats the district in ELA, math, and science, while Rumney Marsh Academy is at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars and improving. At the high school level, Revere High has a graduation rate of 81.2% and dropout of 12.9%, while the much smaller CityLab Innovation High School has higher 10th-grade ELA and math but a 52.6% graduation rate and 31.6% dropout rate.

Overall, Revere schools are low-performing versus Massachusetts, but there are bright spots in elementary math and middle school gains. ELA is a citywide weak point: no elementary or middle school exceeds the state’s 40.03%. Science is volatile, with sharp drops at A. C. Whelan Elementary School and Paul Revere and gains at Garfield Middle School and Beachmont Veterans Memorial School. Spending does not show a simple relationship with outcomes: CityLab Innovation High School spends the most per student but has serious graduation and dropout challenges, while Garfield Middle School spends the least among middle schools yet is the strongest middle school. The biggest concerns are weak ELA, science volatility, low high school math, and CityLab Innovation High School’s low graduation and high dropout.
