Summary:
Boston Collegiate Charter (District) is a single-school charter district in Dorchester, Massachusetts, with one high school, Boston Collegiate Charter School, serving 708 students in grades 5–12.
For parents, the school’s clearest academic strength is math. In 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 53.77% versus the state’s 41.11%, and every tested math grade beat the state. Sixth grade stood out: ELA was 62.50% versus 40.26%, and math was 68.57% versus 42.59%. ELA overall was 45.81% versus 40.03%, but its advantage narrowed from the prior year. Eighth-grade civics improved from below the state to 41.30% versus 39.77%. High school completion is very strong: a 94.6% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025.
Science is the main concern. All-grades science fell from 53.61% to 35.14%, below the state’s 40.98%. Physics was 28.74% versus 46.58%, and 5th grade science and 10th grade science were also below state. Fifth-grade ELA was below state too at 33.70% versus 38.15%. The district rank is 145 of 351 (59th percentile, 3 stars), while the 2025–2026 rank history is 169 of 353 (52nd percentile, 3 stars), up from 227 of 349 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio is 9.6, per-student spending was $23,073 in 2020–2021, and free/reduced-price lunch data is not available in this extract. Overall, this is a school with strong math and completion outcomes, but uneven performance and a clear need to address science.
