Summary

Roxbury Preparatory Charter School is a charter school at 71 Proctor Street in Roxbury, MA, serving 1,126 students in grades 5–12 as part of the Roxbury Preparatory Charter (District), which ranks near the bottom of Massachusetts districts.

Statewide, the school ranked 282 of 353 in 2025–2026, the 20th percentile with 1 star. That is still bottom-quartile, but it is an improvement from its 2022–2023 trough, when it ranked 7th percentile. In 2025–2026 MCAS, 25.37% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 33.66% in math, and 23.35% in science, all below state averages. Math is the relative bright spot: all-grade math (33.66%) beat the Boston district average for nearby schools (29.12%), and 8th-grade math (42.69%) edged the state. High school is the weak point, with 10th-grade ELA at 20.45% and 10th-grade math at 17.56% — far below the state and below Fenway High School, though 10th-grade science (32.33%) beat Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, Dearborn STEM Academy, and Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers: A Horace Mann. Exam schools and Brookline High remain far ahead.

Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 85.6% is above the Boston district average of 81.3%, but the dropout rate climbed to 12.6%, also above the district's 8.8%. The reported student-teacher ratio of 25.8 is the highest among nearby schools, up sharply from 11.3 in 2022–2023, and per-student spending of $19,636 is lower than most neighbors. A clear strength: English Language Learners ranked in the 98th percentile in 2024–2025 and 85th in 2025–2026, far above the school's overall 20th percentile, and low-income students improved to the 36th percentile. African American and Hispanic students also ranked above the school's overall standing.
