Summary:
Zip code 02122 in Dorchester, Boston, contains six schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12: four elementary schools, one high school, and one alternative school, with total listed enrollment of 3,037 students. Five of the six are Boston Public Schools, a district that ranks 299th of 351 in Massachusetts — the 15th percentile, or 1 star. Neighborhood House Charter School is its own district, Neighborhood House Charter (District), and has no comparable rank.
Among schools with all-grade results, Murphy K-8 School posts the highest scores — ELA 35.21%, math 32.12%, science 31.4% — all above district averages but below state, and its rank slipped from 3 stars (54th percentile) to 2 stars (46th percentile). Its 4th grade shines (47.19% ELA, 48.31% math) while 7th grade falls to 16.05% ELA and 8.64% math. Kenny Elementary School is the clearest improver, rising from the 16th to the 32nd percentile, with the zip's best all-grade science at 34.09% and a 3rd-grade ELA score of 50%. Mather Elementary School is weaker overall but relatively strong in science at 32.73%, versus the district's 24.94%.
Community Academy of Science and Health has the highest listed spending ($29,724) and student-teacher ratio (12.6), yet the lowest high school results — 10th-grade ELA 8.33%, math 9.09% — and the lowest graduation rate at 71.9%. Neighborhood House Charter School enrolls 786 students but scores 18.73% ELA, 12.23% math, and 14.66% science, with the zip's highest dropout rate at 11.8%. No all-grade subject here exceeded the state average; science is the relative bright spot for the Boston elementaries, and math is the clearest weakness. Henderson K-12 Inclusion School Lower has no current test data, likely because it serves PK–1. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school and spending figures date to 2019–21, so these comparisons are a snapshot.
