Summary:
There is just one public high school in this area: Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers: A Horace Mann, a grades 9–12 school located at 152 Arlington St, Boston, MA 02116, with 383 students. Because it is the only school here, it also serves as its own reporting district — Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers: A Horace Mann — so school and district results are identical.
The picture is mixed. Positives: a 91.5% graduation rate and 6.1% dropout rate in 2024–2025, a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, and per-student spending of $24,836 (2020–2021). Test scores, however, are far below Massachusetts averages in every subject reported. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 18.75% versus 45.48% statewide, math 18.56% versus 43.73%, science 14.10% versus 40.50%, and Biology End of Course 14.60% versus 37.68% — gaps of roughly 23 to 27 percentage points.
Year over year, math improved from 12.64% to 18.56%, while ELA slipped from 24.73% to 18.75% and science from 19.75% to 14.10%. Rankings place the school near the bottom: 308th of 353 high schools in 2025–2026, at the 13th percentile with 1 star, a slight move up from 311th in the two prior years at the 11th percentile. The district-level summary ranks 338th of 351 districts, 4th percentile, 0 stars. Free/reduced-lunch status is unknown, and no state comparisons are provided for graduation, dropout, student-teacher ratio, or spending, so those figures should be read on their own.
