Learning First Charter Public School

The Learning First Charter Public School is the sole school in the Learning First Charter Public School (District) in Massachusetts. This elementary school (grades KG-8) has a total enrollment of 667 students and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

The school's performance is consistently low, with a district ranking of 313 out of 348 and a statewide ranking between 856-873 out of 906-928 Massachusetts elementary schools over the past three school years. Its proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 19.73%, compared to the state average of 41.53%, and its proficiency rate in Mathematics was 15.42%, compared to the state average of 40.74%.

While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $15,381 for the 2020-2021 school year, and it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 19:1, the data suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The lack of specific data on the school's free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student body, but the low academic performance may be linked to underlying challenges that impact student learning.
