Summary

Rising Tide Charter Public School is a public charter school in Plymouth, MA, serving grades 5–12 with 617 students; it operates as its own district, Rising Tide Charter Public (District). In 2025–2026 it ranked 63rd of 353 Massachusetts districts and schools, placing it in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars. Its trajectory has been strongly upward, climbing from the 44th percentile in 2021–2022 and 48th in 2022–2023 to 70th in 2023–2024, 78th in 2024–2025, and 82nd in 2025–2026.

Among nearby schools, only Duxbury High ranks higher overall, and Rising Tide is ahead of Marshfield High, Pembroke High School, Plymouth North High, Silver Lake Regional High, Middleborough High, Carver Middle/High School, Whitman Hanson Regional, Plymouth South High, and Map Academy Charter School. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was above the state in ELA (50.42% vs 40.03%), math (49.17% vs 41.11%), and science (49.71% vs 40.98%). Tenth-grade results are especially notable: 76.27% in ELA and 78.95% in math, both the highest in this nearby group and ahead of Duxbury, plus 54.90% in science, above the state but behind Duxbury and Pembroke. Middle-grade proficiency is also generally above state, with 8th-grade science (54.44% vs 38.93%) and civics (51.09% vs 39.77%) particularly strong.

Subgroup results stand out: in 2025–2026, male students, special education students, and low-socioeconomic-status students all ranked at or above the 84th percentile with 4 stars, and special education rose from the 48th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 85th in 2025–2026. The main watch item is graduation: the rate was 98.4% in 2022–2023 and 97.9% in 2023–2024 but dipped to 92.9% in 2024–2025, with a 3.6% dropout rate — still better than Plymouth North High, Whitman Hanson Regional, and Middleborough High. The student-teacher ratio was 10.5 in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby schools, and per-student spending was $18,322 in 2020–2021. Because Rising Tide serves grades 5–12 while most nearby schools are 9–12 high schools, the 10th-grade results are the fairest comparison.
