Summary

Margarita Muniz Academy is a public high school in Boston, Massachusetts, serving 308 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Boston school district, which is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Margarita Muniz Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts high schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.94% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.66% statewide and 39.73% in the Boston district. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 79.7% to 89.8% in recent years, lower than the state and district averages, and its dropout rates have been relatively high, ranging from 6.7% to 9.5%.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Margarita Muniz Academy's performance is significantly lower than nearby high-performing schools like Boston Latin Academy and Brookline High. The school faces challenges in serving its predominantly Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-socioeconomic student population, and more targeted support and interventions may be needed to improve academic achievement and student engagement.
