Summary

Channing Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Hyde Park, MA, serving 194 students as part of the Boston school district. In 2025–2026 it ranks 833rd of 899 elementary schools statewide — 7th percentile with 0 stars — and its rank history from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026 has stayed in the bottom quartile, ranging from 6th to 24th percentile. The strongest year was 2021–2022 at 24th percentile; the school improved to 16th percentile in 2024–2025 before falling back to 7th in 2025–2026, so there is no sustained upward trend.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Channing's all-grade proficiency was below both the district and Massachusetts in all three subjects: ELA 17.65%, math 11.90%, and science 23.53%, compared with 29.41%, 29.12%, and 24.94% for Boston and 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98% statewide. Math is the most severe weakness and the lowest among nearby schools. Third-grade math stands out at 3.70% proficient, versus 29.95% in the district and 42.19% statewide, and every tested grade in both ELA and math falls below district and state averages. Science is comparatively less weak — close to the district average and above Conley Elementary School and Roosevelt K-8 School locally.

Channing's staffing and spending look favorable next to many neighbors: a 9.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and $27,936 per student in 2020–2021, a higher per-pupil figure than Grew Elementary School, Oakdale, Avery, and Boston Renaissance Charter Public School. Yet Grew, less than half a mile away with similar enrollment, lower spending, and a slightly higher ratio, posts 42.34% ELA, 48.65% math, and 57.89% science, while Oakdale spends far less and scores around 59–60% in ELA and math. Subgroup results are mixed: Hispanic students reached the 45th percentile and special education students have ranked relatively higher in some years, while low-income students (13th percentile) and male students (6th percentile) are currently very low. The clearest priority is early-grade math intervention, followed by broader ELA improvement.

My son has been there for 3 years now. It has exited its turnaround status and I can honestly say, is amazing. Dr. P has done wonders. The teachers, staff and students are great. I'm on the parent council and we have got that up and awesome things planned for the next few years!! Close Quote
