Summary

Marblehead Community Charter Public School is a small public charter middle school at 17 Lime Street in Marblehead, MA, serving grades 4–8 with just 192 students as its own single-school district, Marblehead Community Charter Public (District). Because it spans grades 4–8, it straddles the town's two district middle schools — Village School (grades 4–6, 0.77 mi away) and Marblehead Veterans Middle School (grades 7–8, 0.84 mi away) — making it a true cross-town alternative.

MCCPS ranks 103rd of 478 middle schools statewide (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26. After about six years plateaued in the 62nd–68th percentile band, the school jumped 18 percentile points in 2024–25 — its best showing since 2016–17 — and held that level the following year. Math drove the turnaround: proficiency rose from 32.6% in 2023–24 to 50.9% in 2025–26, an +18.3 point gain that moved the subject from below the state's 40.9% to roughly 10 points above it. Science recovered to 52.2%, while ELA has stayed relatively steady near 50–53%. The school is above state averages in every subject tested, including Civics at 60.5% versus the state's 39.8%.

Among nearby schools, MCCPS is the second-highest ranked in the peer set, behind Marblehead Veterans Middle School (90th percentile) but ahead of Manchester Essex Regional Middle School (76th) and Swampscott Middle (74th), and far ahead of Holten Richmond Middle School (50th), Collins Middle (34th) and the Lynn middle schools (16th and 11th). Grade by grade, the town district schools outscore MCCPS nearly everywhere, except 5th grade Math, where MCCPS's 56.3% beats Village's 52.4%. Two strengths stand out: special education, ranked in the 91st–94th percentile for three straight years, and low-income students, who climbed from the 20th percentile in 2023–24 to about the 70th in each of the last two years. Its student–teacher ratio has risen from 9.7 to 12.0, and per-pupil spending is $18,965 — 4th highest of the ten schools compared.
