Summary:
The Boston Renaissance Charter Public School is the sole elementary school in the Boston Renaissance Charter Public (District) in Massachusetts, serving grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 937 students. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, its academic performance on standardized assessments is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 732 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 764 out of 916 in 2023-2024 and 763 out of 906 in 2024-2025. It is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Only 24.06% of students were proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.53%, and only 19.34% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.74%. The school's performance on the MCAS Next Generation Science assessment is also below the state average, with only 29.9% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.51%.
Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, it is not translating into strong academic outcomes for students. The school's demographics, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop strategies to improve student outcomes.
