Summary

Global Learning Charter Public School is a public charter school at 101 Nye St in New Bedford, MA, serving 508 students in grades 5–12 — one of the few area schools combining middle and high school grades, since most nearby comparisons serve grades 9–12. Its current standing is low: the Global Learning Charter Public (District) ranks 339th of 351 in Massachusetts (3rd percentile, 0 stars), and the school itself ranked 295th of 353 (16th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26, down from 115th of 351 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2018–19.

Test scores are the main concern. Tenth-grade MCAS proficiency at Global Learning Charter Public School is 20.51 in ELA, 10.00 in math and 15.00 in science, versus state averages of 45.48, 43.73 and 40.50. That is above New Bedford High in ELA and science and well above Whaling City Junior/Senior High School, but below every other nearby high school, including Fairhaven High, Dartmouth High and the regional vocational schools. Biology End of Course (29.79 vs. 37.68 statewide) is a relative bright spot; civics (8.43 vs. 39.77) is very weak. Middle-grade results trail Westport Middle-High School at every common grade and subject, including 8th-grade math at 1.20% proficient versus Westport's 27.83%.

Completion metrics are a contrast: 100% graduation and 0% dropout in 2024–25, better than nearby schools, though volatile (86.7% and 13.3% in 2023–24). Subgroup rankings are now low across the board — 16th percentile for female students, 18th male, 15th Hispanic, 23rd White, 14th low-socioeconomic-status — after Hispanic and low-SES students ranked in the 60s in 2023–24. The 10.5 student-teacher ratio is favorable, but proficiency overall lags well behind the region and state.

Open Quote "Yes. this school is the worst school ive EVER been to. because at my elementary school, I passed the MCAS for the two years I was their for. At this school, ive never passed the MCAS. They should close because new bedford high or even voc is better with the hands on projects or experiments.The teachers here are to strict and they force so much on you rather than helping. My grades have gone down just from the quickness and horrible teaching at this school. When I graduate, I will be sure to leave a comment of why I have never liked this school. Hopefully they will close, They should focus on the strengthen of the schools already existing then rather making more schools. Thanks for reading :) Close Quote
