Summary:
Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public (District) is a single-school charter district in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, made up entirely of Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School. It is classified as a high school but actually serves grades 5 through 12, with 509 students. Because the district contains only one school, district and school figures are identical wherever both are reported. The student-teacher ratio is 9.2, and per-student spending was $21,216 in 2020–2021; the free/reduced lunch field is blank, so it is unknown rather than 0%.
The school's profile rests on a sharp contrast. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 97.7% with a 2.3% dropout rate, yet 2025–2026 MCAS proficiency across all grades is just 16.60% in ELA, 11.57% in Mathematics, and 14.78% in Science — all far below state averages near 40–41%. Every provided 2025–2026 subject and grade result falls below its state counterpart. The smallest gap is 10th grade Mathematics at −8.88 percentage points, and the largest is Physics End of Course at −43.13 points. The clearest red flags are Physics End of Course (3.45% vs. 46.58% state) and 8th grade Mathematics (5.95% vs. 41.67%).
Tenth grade is the strongest grade band: Mathematics is 34.85%, ELA 25.37%, and Science 22.22%. Eighth grade Civics (22.89%) is another relative bright spot and improved from 20.29%. Middle-grade results are uneven, with 7th grade low in both ELA (10.26%) and Mathematics (9.09%). Year over year, ELA and Science improved and Civics rose, while Mathematics and Physics declined. The school's rank history sits at 281st of 353 schools, 20th percentile, 1 star — improved from the prior year but still in the bottom quintile; the district summary, however, shows 330th of 351, 6th percentile, and 0 stars.
