of 353 Massachusetts High Schools

Better than 12% of Massachusetts high schools

Summary

Margarita Muniz Academy is a public school serving grades 7–12 with 428 students, located at 20 Child Street, Boston, MA 02130. Its 2025–2026 state ranking is 310th of 353 — the 12th percentile, with 1 star. That is still near the bottom, but it is an uptick: from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025 the school sat at the 1st percentile with 0 stars, so this is its best showing since 2014–2015. The Boston district ranks 299th of 351, at the 15th percentile with 1 star.

Academics are the clear weakness, especially math. In 2025–2026 MCAS results, all-grades proficiency was 10.26% in ELA, 1.94% in math, and 3.75% in science, versus district rates of 29.41%, 29.12%, and 24.94%. Tenth-grade results are higher in ELA (22.06%) and science (16.95%), but math is only 5.97%. Because the school also serves grades 7 and 8 — 7th-grade math was 1.35% and 8th-grade math 2.47% — the all-grades figures are pulled down. Graduation is the strongest number: 89.9%, above the district's 81.3% and up about 17 points from 72.9% four years earlier. The dropout rate, 8.9%, is roughly even with the district's 8.8%.

Nearby comparisons show how wide the range is: Boston Latin Academy posted 10th-grade ELA of 59.04% and math of 62.92%, and Brookline High 77.58% and 83.27%. Still, Margarita Muniz outperforms English High School on 10th-grade ELA (22.06% vs. 10.19%) and science, and beats Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, Albert D Holland School of Technology, Community Academy, and Greater Egleston High School on graduation and dropout. Staffing looks favorable — a 9.1 student–teacher ratio and $25,346 per-student spending in 2020–2021 — so resources alone don't explain the proficiency gap; free/reduced-lunch data was unavailable. Subgroup results improved across the board in 2025–2026, with English language learners at the 45th percentile and special education students at the 30th, both well above the school's overall 12th percentile.
