Summary:
Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School (District) is a single-school district in Boston, Massachusetts, serving 293 students in grades PK–5 at one elementary school, Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School, located at 6 Shirley Street in the 02119 area. Because the district has only this one school, all district-level results are the school's results, and there is no other local school to compare against. Statewide, the district ranks 305 of 351, placing it in the 13th percentile with a 1-star rating.
Science is the closest thing to a bright spot: 39.47% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, only 1.51 percentage points below the state's 40.98% and 3.60 points below the state's 5th-grade science rate of 43.07%. Science also posted the largest one-year gain, up 13.00 percentage points from 26.47%. English language arts is steadier, ranging from 28.95% in 5th grade to 30.95% in 3rd grade, though every grade trails the state. Mathematics is the clearest concern: all-grade proficiency was 18.80%, 22.31 points below the state, with 3rd-grade math at just 9.52% versus 42.19% statewide and 4th-grade math at 18.92% versus 43.20%. Fifth-grade math was stronger at 28.95%, but still under the state's 39.50%.
All three subjects improved year over year, and the gaps to the state narrowed in each. The school's own rank history shows progress, moving from the 13th percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 to the 25th percentile in 2025–2026 (672 of 899), its best showing in three years. The student-teacher ratio was 15.4 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $20,112 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch information was not reported, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. Families should read this as a school improving from a low base but still below state averages in every tested subject.
