Summary:
ZIP code 02115 is served by a single school, Boston Latin School, a grades 7–12 school with 2,424 students in the Boston district; the area summary counts 0 elementary, 0 middle, 1 high, and 0 alternative schools, but because this school serves middle grades too, the data includes 7th- and 8th-grade MCAS and Civics results alongside high school outcomes.
Boston Latin School is one of the highest-ranked schools in Massachusetts. It was ranked #1 out of 348 in 2023–2024 and #2 out of 349 in 2024–2025, then moved to #24 out of 353 in 2025–2026 — still the top 7% of ranked schools, with 5 stars. The Boston district summary, by contrast, shows a rank of 299 out of 351, a 15th percentile position and 1 star, making this school a dramatic outlier in its own district. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation testing, every reported subject and grade was above both the district and the state: ELA All Grades at 86.05%, Mathematics All Grades at 93.73%, Science All Grades at 70.74%, and 8th-grade Mathematics at 95.60%. Even the lowest reported score, 10th-grade Science at 68.09%, was 27.59 percentage points above the state. Scores improved year over year, with Science All Grades up 22.14 percentage points.
Graduation and dropout outcomes are strong: a 99.0% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate in 2024–2025, compared with 81.3% and 8.8% for the district. The student-teacher ratio is 18.6, implying roughly 130 teachers, and per-student spending was $21,850 in 2020–2021 — older data with no comparison figures in this record. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so it is unknown rather than zero, and no conclusion about the economic composition of the student body should be drawn from it.
