Summary:

The 01851 zip code in Massachusetts is home to a single high school, The Career Academy. This school serves grades 9-12 and is located within the Lowell school district.

The Career Academy is a low-performing school, ranking 351 out of 351 Massachusetts high schools and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 9.09% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate of 78.5% is also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 9.8% is concerning.

Despite the high per-student spending of $17,158, The Career Academy's small size of 92 students does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Without additional data on the school's student population, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact challenges the school is facing, but the overall picture suggests that significant interventions may be needed to improve the quality of education for students in this zip code.
