Summary

Chittick Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mattapan, MA, serving grades PK-6 with 228 students. It is part of the Boston school district, which is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Chittick Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 677-874 out of around 900-940 schools.

Chittick Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Boston and Massachusetts averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.88% of Chittick students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.27% in Boston and 41.53% statewide. In math, the proficiency rate was 18.68% at Chittick, 27.68% in Boston, and 40.74% statewide. The performance gaps for Hispanic, special education, and low-socioeconomic status students at Chittick are particularly concerning, indicating that the school is struggling to meet the needs of its most vulnerable populations.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($33,300 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby Mattahunt Elementary ($30,323) and having a very low student-teacher ratio, Chittick's academic outcomes have not improved. In contrast, Mattahunt Elementary, while also a low-performing school, generally outperforms Chittick on academic measures, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from Mattahunt's practices and strategies to address the root causes of Chittick's underperformance.

My child is not there now but it was a terrible experience academically that was felt as a family. She was upset and not learning and developed behavioral issues which I warn the teach would happen and I was completely unheard. The at that time was not supportive. Close Quote
