Summary

Innovation Academy Charter School is a charter school in Tyngsboro, MA serving 770 students in grades 5–12, which makes it unusual among nearby high schools that enroll grades 9–12 only. Its charter district, Innovation Academy Charter (District), ranked 173rd of 351, while the school itself placed 121st of 353 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26 — up from 166th the year before, but below its 2022–23 peak of 82nd. Graduation is trending well: 94.7% in 2024–25, up from 88.5% in 2021–22, with dropout falling from 4.6% to 2.1%. The student–teacher ratio is 11, lower than most nearby schools.

Tenth grade is the school's strongest showing and the fairest comparison point, since all-grade results include middle school. Innovation's 10th graders scored above state averages in ELA (51.32 vs 45.48), math (45.21 vs 43.73), science (50.82 vs 40.50) and Biology EOC (46.58 vs 37.68). Westford Academy and Chelmsford High remain far ahead, while Tyngsborough High School is the closest match, with higher science and biology but lower ELA. All-grade scores, however, fall below state in ELA (34.82 vs 40.03), math (26.37 vs 41.11) and science (30.77 vs 40.98), driven by weaker middle grades — 7th-grade math is 17.89 vs 37.48 statewide, and 8th-grade math is 26.53 vs 41.67.

Subgroup results show real movement: students with disabilities and low-income students rank among the stronger groups statewide, with low-income results rising sharply in 2025–26. A clear gap remains for one student group at the 21st percentile. Locally, Innovation sits behind Westford, Chelmsford and Tyngsborough, but ahead of Dracut Senior High, Lowell High and Nashoba Valley Technical High School. Spending of $16,921 per student is mid-to-high locally, though Westford achieves more with less — suggesting curriculum and instruction matter more than resources here.
