Summary

Bridge Boston Charter School is a PK–8 charter school in Roxbury, MA, serving 329 students; in 2025–2026 it ranked 550th of 899 Massachusetts schools (39th percentile, 2 stars), its best showing in the provided history. Its district, Bridge Boston Charter School (District), ranked 232nd of 351 statewide, also 2 stars. The school has moved up steadily from the 16th–20th percentile range in the mid-2010s, and 2024–2025 and 2023–2024 showed 32nd and 24th percentiles, respectively.

Compared with nearby tested schools, Bridge Boston Charter School outperforms King Elementary School, Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School, Conservatory Lab Charter School, Trotter Elementary School, Winthrop Elementary School, and Ellis Elementary School in overall rank, but trails Hale Elementary School and Hernandez Elementary School. Math is the clear strength: all-grade math is 43.15% proficient vs 41.11% statewide, and 8th-grade math is 69.23% vs 41.67%. Science and civics are major gaps: science is 14.52% vs 40.98% statewide, and 8th-grade civics is 7.69% vs 39.77%. ELA is 34.01% vs 40.03%. Grade-level results also vary: 4th-grade ELA and math are below state, while 5th-grade ELA is slightly above. Resources include a 10.7 student-to-teacher ratio and $28,647 per student.

The school’s effectiveness rankings for some student groups are much higher than its overall rank: African American students rank in the 90th percentile, low-SES students in the 74th, Hispanic students in the 64th, and special education students in the 55th. English language learner performance is volatile, from the 73rd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 15th percentile in 2023–2024, the latest available. The middle-school pattern is unusually uneven—very strong 8th-grade math but very weak 8th-grade science and civics—suggesting subject-specific gaps rather than a general middle-school weakness. Overall, Bridge Boston Charter School is improving, has a genuine math strength, and shows strong subgroup effectiveness, but it still faces significant challenges in science, civics, and ELA, and remains behind Hale Elementary School and Hernandez Elementary School overall.
