Summary

Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School is a charter public school at 1 Westinghouse Plaza in Hyde Park, MA, serving 509 students in grades 5–12 — a combined middle and high school rather than a grades 9–12 high school, which matters when comparing its "All Grades" test results to nearby high schools. Its Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public (District) ranks 330 of 351 statewide.

Graduation and dropout results are the school's clearest strengths: a 97.7% graduation rate and 2.3% dropout rate in 2024–2025, matching Milton High and just behind Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical, and far above Boston International High School & Newcomers Academy (57.6% graduation, 30.4% dropout), English High School (86.6%/11.5%) and Another Course To College (79.7%/14.9%). MCAS proficiency, though, trails the state in every reported subject: 16.6% in all-grades ELA versus 40.03% statewide, 11.57% in math versus 41.11%, 14.78% in science versus 40.98%, and 3.45% in physics versus 46.58%. The smallest gap is 10th grade math at 34.85%.

That 10th grade math result is essentially tied with Blue Hills (34.87%) and ahead of Boston Preparatory Charter Public School (26.88%), TechBoston Academy, English High, Margarita Muniz Academy, Another Course and Boston International, but behind Dedham High (57.58%) and Milton High (68.44%). The weakest grades are 7th and 8th grade math, at 9.09% and 5.95%. The student-teacher ratio was 9.2 in 2024–2025, with per-student spending of $21,216 in 2020–2021 — favorable compared with many neighbors, yet not reflected in proficiency. Statewide the school ranks 281 of 353 (20th percentile, 1 star), an improvement over 2024–2025 but well below its 2015–2017 range of the 53rd–60th percentile. Its effectiveness rankings for African American students (42nd percentile) and Hispanic students (47th percentile) sit above its overall percentile, while special education students rank lowest at the 14th percentile.
