Summary

Boston Teachers Union K-8 Pilot is a public elementary school in Jamaica Plain, MA that serves 272 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school 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.

The school's performance has been inconsistent over the past 10 years, ranging from a high ranking of 244 out of 936 Massachusetts elementary schools (4 stars) in 2020-2021 to a low of 637 out of 932 (2 stars) in 2015-2016. Its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 491 out of 906 (2 stars). On state assessments, Boston Teachers Union K-8 Pilot generally performs below the Boston and Massachusetts averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with particularly low proficiency rates in 7th and 8th grade. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing the best and African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, as well as students with disabilities, struggling the most.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to many nearby schools, such as Bates Elementary School, Mozart Elementary School, and Hernandez K-8 School, Boston Teachers Union K-8 Pilot's overall performance lags behind these schools, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in terms of teacher quality, professional development, or access to necessary resources and support.
