Summary

CityLab Innovation High School is a small public high school in Revere, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 117 students as part of the Revere district, which ranks 295th of 351 Massachusetts districts in 2025–26 (16th percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranks 278th of 353 schools statewide, placing it in the 21st percentile with 1 star, after improving from the 1st percentile in 2016–17 to the 32nd percentile in 2023–24, then slipping to 23rd and 21st in the last two years.

Academically, results are mixed. On 2025–26 10th-grade MCAS, CityLab's ELA proficiency (35.29%) and math proficiency (23.53%) beat the district (28.31% and 20.12%) but trail the state (45.48% and 43.73%), while science (21.21%) and Biology End-of-Course (13.79%) fall below the district. Compared with same-district Revere High, CityLab is higher in ELA and math but lower in science and biology. CityLab is the smallest school in its comparison group, spends $26,441 per student — far above Revere High's $14,138 — and has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8.

The biggest concern is completion. CityLab's 2024–25 graduation rate is 52.6% and its dropout rate is 31.6%, against district figures of 79.8% and 13.3%. Nearby comprehensive schools are far higher: Winthrop High School at 91.2%, Malden High at 85.7%, and Excel Academy Charter School at 95.1%. Subgroup rankings are uneven, with English Language Learners at 104th of 105 (1st percentile), female students in the 10th percentile, and low-SES students in the 20th. With only 117 students, year-to-year swings are amplified, but even the strongest recent years stay well below the district.
