Summary:
Global Learning Charter Public (District) contains a single high school: Global Learning Charter Public School, a grades 5–12 charter school in New Bedford, Massachusetts with 508 students. Because it is the only high school in the district, the school and district figures are identical in every reported test row. The school's accountability profile sits near the bottom statewide: the district ranks 339th of 351 with a 3rd percentile and 0 stars, and its own rank history has slipped from 202 of 348 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, to 247 of 349 (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, to 295 of 353 (16th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. Against that, the reported 2024–2025 graduation rate is 100.0% and the dropout rate is 0.0%. The student-teacher ratio is a relatively low 10.5, and per-student spending was $17,160 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed.
Academically, 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation proficiency trails the state across every core subject. All-grade English Language Arts is 14.02% versus 40.03% statewide, Mathematics 8.33% versus 41.11%, and Science 15.00% versus 40.98%. Mathematics is the weakest core subject, and 8th grade is a concentrated area of weakness: Math 1.2% versus 41.67% statewide, Civics 8.43% versus 39.77%, Science 8.54% versus 38.93%, and ELA 9.76% versus 41.7%. Biology End of Course is the clear bright spot at 29.79% versus 37.68% statewide — the highest subject result and the narrowest gap, just 7.89 percentage points. Tenth grade ELA (20.51% vs. 45.48%) and 5th grade Science (21.79% vs. 43.07%) are the stronger grade-level results.
Results also declined year over year. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grade ELA fell from 19.09% to 14.02%, Math from 11.21% to 8.33%, and Science from 18.79% to 15.00%, while state performance held steadier, so the gaps generally widened. Eighth grade Civics dropped from 15.38% to 8.43% as the state rate stayed near 39%. In short, this school pairs excellent completion metrics and a low student-teacher ratio with one notable academic strength in Biology End of Course, alongside significant challenges in overall MCAS proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and at the 8th grade level.
