Summary

Curley K-8 School is a large Boston Public Schools school in Jamaica Plain, MA, serving 902 students in grades PK–8 — more students than any nearby Boston or Brookline school it is compared with. In 2025–2026 it ranks 416th of 899 Massachusetts schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), well above its own district, which ranks 299th of 351 districts (15th percentile, 1 star). Its long-term trend is encouraging: the school spent the mid-2010s in the bottom 14–20% of state schools with 1 star, rose to 2 stars in 2020–2022, and has held 3 stars, in the 50th–57th percentile, every year since 2022–2023.

On 2025–2026 all-grade MCAS Next Generation proficiency, Curley scored 32.73% in ELA, 32.36% in math and 25.14% in science — above Boston’s district averages (29.41%, 29.12%, 24.94%) but below the state averages (40.03%, 41.11%, 40.98%). Those averages hide a sharp split by grade. Grades 3–6 generally perform at or above state averages in both ELA and math, including grade 3 ELA at 51.65% and grade 6 math at 46.32%. Grades 7–8 fall off dramatically: 6.58% and 6.10% in ELA, 5.19% and 6.41% in math, with grade 8 science at 2.82% and grade 8 civics at 5.13%.

Curley has real resource advantages: its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 7.9 is the lowest in its comparison set, and 2020–2021 per-student spending was $28,561. Results are still mixed versus neighbors. Curley clearly outperforms nearby Boston schools such as Hennigan Elementary School, Ellis Elementary School and Tobin K-8 School, but trails Hale Elementary School, Hernandez Elementary School and Mendell Elementary School on all-grade proficiency, and sits roughly 30–40 percentage points behind Brookline’s William H Lincoln and Pierce. The school also shows wide differences in how well it serves student groups: it ranks near the top statewide for some groups but near the bottom for low-income students (10th percentile) and English Language Learner students (9th percentile), while special education has improved to the 48th percentile.
