The district profile ranks 317 of 351 (10th percentile, 0 stars), and the school's own 2025–2026 rank history is 269 of 353 (24th percentile, 1 star). That is a notable change from a decade ago, when the school was ranked 86 of 345 (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2017–2018 and 92 of 351 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2015–2016.

Graduation and dropout are the strongest parts of the picture. Boston Prep graduated 96.0% of students in 2024–2025 with a 0.0% dropout rate, among the best results in its nearby comparison group. Only Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School and Milton High posted higher graduation rates, at 97.7%. Boston Prep is well above Boston district schools such as English High School (86.6% grad, 11.5% dropout), Margarita Muniz Academy (89.9%, 8.9%), TechBoston Academy (88.6%, 2.9%), New Mission High School (93.2%, 3.0%) and Another Course To College (79.7%, 14.9%), and far above Community Academy (45.0%, 15.0%) and Boston International High School & Newcomers Academy (57.6%, 30.4%).

Test proficiency tells a different story. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 19.57% in ELA versus 40.03% statewide, 15.44% in Math versus 41.11%, and 25.53% in Science versus 40.98%. Tenth-grade ELA, at 39.56% versus the state's 45.48%, is the school's relative bright spot, but 10th-grade Math (26.88% vs. 43.73%) and Science (10.26% vs. 40.5%) lag well behind, as does Biology End of Course (18.63% vs. 37.68%). Middle grades are a pronounced weakness: 7th-grade ELA is 12.38% and Math 9.52%; 6th-grade ELA is 16.47% and Math 10.59%; 8th grade is somewhat stronger at 30.77% ELA and 26.32% Math. School-effectiveness ranks vary widely by student group — 58th percentile for English Language Learner students, 52nd for African American students and 51st for Special Education students, compared with 17th for male students and 35th for low-SES students. Spending was $24,681 per student in 2020–2021, and the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.9; free/reduced lunch percentages were not reported, so comparisons are directional.
