Summary

Mildred Avenue K-8 School is a Boston public elementary and middle school in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, MA, serving 601 students in grades PK–8. It ranks 839 of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (7th percentile, 0 stars), and its rank history is persistently low — mostly between the 4th and 13th percentile over the past decade, with 0 stars in most years. The Boston district itself ranks 299 of 351 districts statewide.

In 2025–2026, all-grade MCAS Next Generation proficiency was 11.44% in English language arts, 8.53% in math, and 3.62% in science — far below Boston district averages (29.41%, 29.12%, and 24.94%) and state averages (40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%). Among nearby Boston schools with comparable data, Mildred has the lowest proficiency in all three subjects, below Mattahunt Elementary School (22.02% ELA, 20.64% math, 15.69% science), Chittick Elementary School, Haley Pilot School, Lee K-8 School, Young Achievers Elementary School, and Shaw-Taylor Elementary School. KIPP Academy Boston Charter School, a K–8 school only 0.12 miles away, reaches 30.15% ELA, 27.00% math, and 26.56% science with lower per-student spending and larger classes. Tucker in Milton, about a mile away, posts 57.35% ELA, 62.75% math, and 56.52% science.

Grade-level results split sharply. Fourth grade is a relative bright spot (21.15% ELA, 26.92% math), while middle grades are very weak: 7th grade ELA 3.57%, 7th grade math 2.41%, 8th grade math 1.23%, and 8th grade science 0%. Over the past year, ELA rose from 8.38% to 11.44% and civics from 3.37% to 6.25%, while math slipped from 9.97% to 8.53% and science dropped from 6.94% to 3.62%. Subgroup ranks look comparatively stronger for homeless students (57th percentile in 2024–2025, 3 stars) and English learners (24th percentile in 2025–2026), though those groups are small and remain below state norms.
