Boston Green Academy Horace Mann Charter School

Boston Green Academy Horace Mann Charter School is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Brighton, MA, with 459 students. Despite its location in a densely populated urban area with access to several higher-performing public high schools, this school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Massachusetts over the past decade.

The school's performance on state assessments is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.08% of 10th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.66%. The school's struggles are not limited to overall performance, as certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, are performing even more poorly than the school's already low averages. Additionally, the school has had high dropout rates and lower-than-average graduation rates in recent years.

The challenges facing Boston Green Academy Horace Mann Charter School are multifaceted and suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan. The school's location within the Boston Green Academy Horace Mann Charter School district, which is ranked 340 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating, may be contributing to the school's struggles in terms of funding, resources, and overall support. Without significant intervention and a clear strategy to address the root causes of the school's underperformance, it is unlikely to see meaningful improvements in student outcomes in the near future.
