Summary

Another Course To College is a small Boston district high school in Hyde Park, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 253 students. It is part of the Boston Public Schools district, which ranks 299th of 351 Massachusetts districts (15th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, Another Course To College ranked 343rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools (3rd percentile, 0 stars), in the lowest few percent statewide. Its percentile rank was around 14th–15th with 1 star in 2015–16 through 2017–18, but it has received 0 stars every year shown since 2020–21 and fell to 3rd percentile in 2024–25 and 2025–26.

For 2025–2026 10th grade MCAS, proficiency was 11.76% in English language arts, 3.92% in math, 2.08% in science, and 3.03% in physics—far below both Boston and state averages. ELA proficiency fell from 37.78% in 2022–23 to 11.76% in 2025–26, while math and science stayed very low. Graduation and dropout trends have reversed sharply since 2020–21: the school had a 92.1% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate then, but by 2024–25 had 79.7% graduation and 14.9% dropout, compared with district figures of 81.3% and 8.8%.

Subgroup effectiveness is mostly low in 2025–2026, with gender, special education, and low-income groups near the bottom statewide. The major exception is English Language Learner students: the school ranked 5th of 105 at the 95th percentile with 5 stars, a relative strength. Nearby options show stronger outcomes. New Mission High School is only 0.15 miles away and had a 93.2% graduation rate, 3.0% dropout rate, and 10th grade proficiency of 33.59% ELA, 36.72% math, and 17.65% science. Boston Preparatory Charter Public School, Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School, Dedham High, and Milton High also generally outperform Another Course To College. Boston International High School & Newcomers Academy has lower graduation and higher dropout, though its newcomer mission affects comparability; Community Academy is a small alternative setting with lower graduation and similar dropout. Spending was $26,878 per student in 2020–21, and the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.2, mid-range nearby, so low outcomes do not appear to reflect an obvious resource disadvantage. Because the school is small, year-to-year rates can be volatile.
