Summary

Baystate Academy Charter Public School is a charter school in Springfield, Massachusetts, serving 388 students in grades 6–12, and its district, Baystate Academy Charter Public School (District), ranks 345th of 351 in Massachusetts. The school ranked 334th of 353 in 2025–2026 (5th percentile, 0 stars). Its rank history shows no year above the 15th percentile, with recent ranks of 339th of 348 in 2023–2024, 332nd of 349 in 2024–2025, and 334th of 353 in 2025–2026.

Test proficiency is far below state levels. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 9.77% in ELA versus 40.03% statewide, 11.93% in math versus 41.11%, and 11.67% in science versus 40.98%. Tenth-grade science was especially low at 4.00% versus 40.50% statewide, while 7th-grade math was 1.72% and ELA 3.51%. Compared with nearby schools, Baystate’s 10th-grade ELA (10.34%) is lower than every reporting nearby comprehensive high school except very low alternative or charter programs, and 10th-grade science (4.00%) is below all reporting nearby comprehensive schools. Its 10th-grade math (14.81%) is slightly above Chicopee High, Springfield Central High, and Springfield High School of Science and Technology, but below John J Duggan Academy, Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy, and The Springfield Renaissance School an Expeditionary Learning.

Graduation and dropout are more mixed. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 86.0% with a 4.7% dropout rate—above the Springfield district average graduation rate of 82.0% and below the district dropout rate of 9.7%. However, graduation was 69.6% in 2023–2024 and 95.9% in 2020–2021. The student-teacher ratio is very low at 6.7, versus 10.5 to 13.7 at most nearby general high schools; only Springfield Public Day High School is similar at 6.3. Per-student spending was $17,162 in 2020–2021, comparable to several nearby schools. Despite small classes and mid-range funding, overall outcomes remain near the bottom of the state. Female students and low-income students show notable relative weaknesses, and special education results have been uneven. Phoenix Academy Public Charter High School Springfield, Springfield International Academy at Sci-Technical, and Springfield Public Day have much worse graduation, dropout, and test outcomes, but most comparable comprehensive schools outperform Baystate Academy Charter Public School.
