Summary

Codman Academy Charter Public School is a PK–12 charter school in Dorchester, MA, serving 344 students and operating as its own district, Codman Academy Charter Public (District). Its completion results are a relative strength: the 2024–25 graduation rate was 88.9%, and the five-year average is about 89.9%, with a 2024–25 dropout rate of 5.6%. That places it near stronger nearby charter options: Prospect Hill Academy Charter School (93.2% graduation), Brooke Charter School (90.5%), and above Match Charter Public School (82.5%), Neighborhood House Charter School (79.4%), Henderson K-12 Inclusion School Upper (76.1%), Horace Mann School for the Deaf Hard of Hearing (60.0%), and Melvin H. King South End Academy (23.8%). Its dropout rate is also lower than Match, Neighborhood House, Henderson, and Melvin King.

Academically, however, proficiency is very low. In 2025–26 MCAS Next Generation results, Codman Academy Charter Public School’s all-grade proficiency was 12.23% in English Language Arts, 8.7% in Math, 8.89% in Science, and 12.12% in Biology; 8th grade Civics was 0%. The state rates were 40.03%, 41.11%, 40.98%, 37.68%, and 39.77%, respectively. Among nearby charters, Brooke Charter School posted 62.61% ELA, 73.87% Math, and 66.4% Science; Prospect Hill Academy Charter School 31.22%, 25.45%, and 23.14%; Match Charter Public School 20.32%, 22.99%, and 22.35%; Neighborhood House Charter School 18.73%, 12.23%, and 14.66%. Codman was lowest among these charter peers in all three all-grade subjects.

Grade-level results vary. 5th grade was a relative bright spot (27.27% ELA, 28.57% Math, 18.18% Science), while 8th grade was 0% in ELA, Math, Science, and Civics in 2025–26. Spending was $27,954 per student in 2020–21, higher than nearby charters such as Brooke Charter School ($21,044), Neighborhood House Charter School ($21,393), Prospect Hill Academy Charter School ($23,236), and Match Charter Public School ($24,036), though outcomes remained lower. The student-teacher ratio was 10.3 in 2024–25, up from 7.2 and 6.7 in prior years, similar to several charter peers. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed. Graduation and dropout rates fluctuate, likely due to small cohorts, so single-year figures should be read cautiously.
