Summary:
The Baystate Academy Charter Public School (District) is a single-school charter district in Springfield, Massachusetts, containing just one school — Baystate Academy Charter Public School — which serves grades 6 through 12 to 388 students, so district-level and school-level figures are identical for shared metrics.
This is a bottom-ranked district in Massachusetts: 345 of 351 statewide, the 2nd percentile, with 0 stars. Recent rank history places it in the bottom 3rd–5th percentile each year. MCAS Next Generation proficiency in 2025–2026 was 9.77% in ELA, 11.93% in math, and 11.67% in science, against state averages near 40–41%. The weakest results were 7th grade math at 1.72% proficient, 7th grade ELA at 3.51%, and 10th grade science at 4.00%. The relative bright spot is 8th grade, where math reached 21.31% proficient — the highest figure in the data — along with 16.67% in ELA and 15.25% in civics, though all remain well below state averages. Trends from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 were modestly positive: math rose 2.68 percentage points, ELA 1.05 points, and civics 3.93 points, narrowing gaps to the state; science was essentially flat and biology dipped slightly.
Other metrics look stronger than proficiency. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 86.0% and the dropout rate 4.7%; the student-teacher ratio was a low 6.7. Per-student spending was $17,162 in 2020–2021, the most recent figure available, and free/reduced lunch data is blank in the source, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero. With only one school, there are no in-district peers to compare against.
