Summary

Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School is a public charter high school located in Hyde Park, MA, serving grades 5-12 with an enrollment of 440 students. The school is part of the Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public district, which is ranked 339 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating.

The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 97th out of 354 Massachusetts high schools in 2014-2015 (4-star rating) to 310th out of 349 in 2024-2025 (1-star rating). This downward trend in ranking and rating indicates the school is performing below the state average. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Massachusetts high schools. However, the school's performance for African American students is relatively better, ranking in the top 30-35% of high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Boston International High School, TechBoston Academy, and Margarita Muniz Academy, which also perform significantly below the state averages, Dedham High School, located about 1.5 miles away, consistently outperforms the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $21,216 in 2020-2021 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8-9 students per teacher, the school's academic performance remains a concern, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science.

My grandchildren have been bullied for two years in a row at this school. It’s just another substandard Boston public school with a fancy name. Close Quote
