Summary:
South Boston, Massachusetts is served by six schools — four elementary schools (Perry Elementary School, Condon K-8 School, Tynan Elementary School, and Perkins Elementary School, serving grades PK–6 or PK–8) and two high schools (Excel High School and Boston Collaborative High School), with no middle or alternative schools listed for the area. All six belong to the Boston district, rated 1 star at 299 of 351 districts (15th percentile), and together they enroll 1,636 students — 1,125 in the elementary/K-8 schools and 511 in the high schools.
Perry Elementary School stands well above the rest: 73rd percentile, 4 stars, and 2025-26 scores of 53.41 in ELA, 59.09 in Math, and 66.67 in Science — ahead of both the district and the state. Its 5th grade is especially strong, at 83.33 in ELA and Math. The other elementaries trail far behind in every subject. Condon K-8 School is the lowest performer despite the largest enrollment (518 students), ranking in the 4th percentile with 0 stars and posting 12.67 in ELA, 12.03 in Math, and 7.53 in Science. Tynan Elementary School and Perkins Elementary School sit between them; Perkins' Science dropped from 26.67 to a reported 0.00, likely reflecting a very small tested group.
The high schools differ sharply. Excel High School graduates 85.6% (above the district's 81.3%) but has a 12.6% dropout rate and low MCAS proficiency. Boston Collaborative High School graduates only 43.2% and shows 0% 10th-grade ELA, yet its 4.2% dropout rate is below the district's 8.8%; its recent data is limited, so read it cautiously. Spending ranges from $21,362 to $31,907 per student, and student-teacher ratios from 7.2 to 10.3, but neither lines up neatly with results. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be analyzed.
