Summary:
ZIP code 01249 is served by a single school: Pioneer Charter School of Science, an alternative charter school covering grades K–12 with 795 students, operating within Pioneer Charter School of Science (District). Because the reporting unit contains only one school, school-level and district-level test scores are identical throughout the data. One data-quality flag: the address is listed as Everett, MA 01249, though Everett's ZIP code is commonly 02149, so the ZIP should be verified. The student-teacher ratio is 11:1 for 2024–2025, spending was $16,081 per student in 2020–2021, and free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed.
The school performs well above state averages on MCAS, exceeding the state in 18 of 19 reported subject and grade combinations in 2025–2026. The single exception is 3rd grade Mathematics, where it trails the state by about 2.5 percentage points (39.68% vs. 42.19%). Standouts include 5th grade Mathematics at 88.89% proficient versus 39.50% statewide, 10th grade Mathematics at 86.79% versus 43.73%, 10th grade English Language Arts at 84.91% versus 45.48%, Biology End of Course at 80.00% versus 37.68%, and 8th grade Mathematics at 78.69% versus 41.67%. Across all grades in 2025–2026, the school reports 59.41% in ELA (state 40.03%), 68.55% in Mathematics (state 41.11%), and 70.16% in Science (state 40.98%).
High school outcomes are particularly strong, with a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate for 2024–2025. Year over year, all-grade Science improved from 67.46% to 70.16% and Civics rose from 49.21% to 57.38%, while ELA slipped from 62.17% to 59.41% and Mathematics dipped slightly from 69.05% to 68.55% — all still well above state. Results in earlier grades are more mixed: 3rd grade ELA is about 6 points above state, 7th grade ELA about 7 points, and 7th grade Mathematics about 11 points — still above state, but less dominant than the school's other results.
