Summary:
The Learning First Charter Public School (District) is a one-school district in Worcester, Massachusetts, containing a single elementary school: Learning First Charter Public School. That school is labeled Elementary but actually serves grades K–8, so its results include middle-grade subjects such as 8th-grade Science and Civics. It enrolls 666 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 19:1 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $15,381 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch information is not provided, so the school's socioeconomic context is unknown and cannot be analyzed.
Academically, the school sits near the bottom of the state. In 2025–2026 it ranked 856 of 899 schools (percentile 5, 0 stars), while the district ranked 312 of 351 (percentile 11, 1 star); since there is only one school, school and district scores are identical. Proficiency is well below state in ELA (17.43% vs. 40.03%) and Math (18.85% vs. 41.11%), each a gap of about 22 percentage points. Science overall is less weak (31.65% vs. 40.98%), but that average hides very different results. The weakest spots are concentrated in the lower grades: 4th-grade Math at 8.00% (state 43.20%), 5th-grade Science at 8.57% (state 43.07%), 5th-grade ELA at 9.72% (state 38.15%), 5th-grade Math at 12.68% (state 39.50%), and 4th-grade ELA at 12.00% (state 37.43%).
The clearest bright spot is 8th grade. Its Science score of 55.07% beats the state's 38.93%, and 8th-grade Civics at 47.83% beats the state's 39.77% — the only two results above state. 8th-grade ELA (34.78%) and Math (36.23%) are also the school's strongest grade-level scores, with much smaller gaps to state. Year over year, Math improved by 3.43 points, Science by 4.19 points, and 8th-grade Civics by 12.54 points, while ELA slipped 2.30 points. The school's rank number has stayed at exactly 856 for three years, but the pool shrank from 916 to 899 schools, so its relative standing has edged slightly worse.
