Summary:
Learning First Charter Public School (District) is a single-school district in Worcester, Massachusetts, serving one charter school with 666 students in grades K–8; because the district contains only that one school, all school-level MCAS results are identical to district-level results. Learning First Charter Public School is ranked 856th of 899 Massachusetts schools, placing it in the 5th percentile with 0 stars, while the district is ranked 312th of 351 districts, in the 11th percentile with 1 star. The rating difference comes from comparing against other districts rather than other individual schools, not from different student outcomes.
Results are far from uniform across grade levels. The strongest showing is 8th grade Science, where 55.07% of students were proficient versus 38.93% statewide, and 8th grade Civics, at 47.83% versus 39.77% statewide. The weakest pockets are in the middle grades: 4th grade Math at 8% proficient against 43.20% statewide, 5th grade Science at 8.57% versus 43.07%, and 5th grade ELA at 9.72% versus 38.15%. Across all grades, ELA is 17.43% proficient against 40.03% statewide and Math is 18.85% against 41.11% — both below half the state rate — while Science is a comparatively stronger 31.65% against 40.98%, a figure lifted by the 8th grade result.
Year over year, Math rose from 15.42% to 18.85%, Science from 27.46% to 31.65%, and 8th grade Civics from 35.29% to 47.83%, moving Civics from below to above the state average. ELA fell from 19.73% to 17.43%, widening its gap to the state. The school's numerical rank has stayed at 856th for three years, though its percentile slipped from 7 to 6 to 5, indicating some relative ground lost. Context is limited: free/reduced lunch data is blank and the only spending figure is $15,381 per pupil from 2020–2021, while the student–teacher ratio is 19:1.
