Summary:
Excel Academy Charter (District) is home to a single high school — Excel Academy Charter School — a charter school at 58 Moore Street in East Boston that serves grades 5 through 12 and enrolls 1,379 students. Because Excel Academy Charter (District) contains only one high school, district and school figures are essentially the same, and there is no other school in this area to compare it against.
The school stands out on state rankings and test scores. It placed 80th of 353 schools in 2025–2026 (77th percentile, 4 stars), up from 128th of 348 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, ELA proficiency was 57.33% versus 40.03% statewide, and math was 57.21% versus 41.11%. Eighth grade was especially strong: 74.12% proficient in math (+32.45 points above state) and 68.24% in ELA (+26.54 points). Science was the exception, at 38.19% overall against the state's 40.98%, with 5th grade science at 32.95% versus 43.07%. Biology End of Course (56.74%) and 8th grade civics (54.71%) were both comfortably above state averages.
Scores rose year over year in every subject: math +9.16 points, civics +7.65, biology +6.15, science +5.34, and ELA +1.85. Completion outcomes also look strong, with a 95.1% graduation rate and a 1.8% dropout rate in 2024–2025, alongside a student-teacher ratio of 10.7. Per-student spending was $19,548 in 2020–2021, a dated figure. Note that free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and since the school covers grades 5–12, its results include middle-school grades rather than high school alone.
