Summary

Prospect Hill Academy Charter School is a PK–12 charter school in Cambridge, MA serving 890 students, and it operates as its own district, Prospect Hill Academy Charter (District), so school and district figures are the same. Families considering it will find notably strong completion outcomes paired with below-state test scores. In 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 93.2% and the dropout rate 3.4%, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.5 and per-student spending of $23,236 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be compared.

Compared with nearby alternatives, the 93.2% graduation rate is higher than Brooke Charter School (90.5%), Codman Academy Charter Public School (88.9%) and Match Charter Public School (82.5%), though below Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (96.1%) and Pioneer Charter School of Science (100.0%). The 3.4% dropout rate is lower than Brooke's, Codman's and Match's, but higher than Mystic Valley and Pioneer, which both report 0.0%. It is worth noting that dropout rose from 1.7% in 2023–2024 and 1.5% in 2022–2023 — the highest in the five-year window. The 10.5 student-teacher ratio is more favorable than Brooke (12.4), Mystic Valley (15.5) and Pioneer (11.0).

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation all-grades tests, proficiency was 31.22% in English Language Arts (state: 40.03%), 25.45% in Math (state: 41.11%) and 23.14% in Science (state: 40.98%). ELA and Math have improved over four years but remain well below state averages. Weak spots include early elementary math (3rd grade 21.88% and 5th grade 17.54%, both against a 39.5% state figure), 8th-grade Science at 18.75% versus 38.93% statewide, 10th-grade ELA and Math, and Biology, where 2025–2026 End-of-Course proficiency was just 14.52% against the state's 37.68%. Prospect Hill far trails the higher-performing nearby charters, though it outperforms Codman and edges out Match.
