Summary:
The 02128 zip code of East Boston, Massachusetts is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools and 2 high schools, all part of the Boston public school district. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1-star rating and ranking 298 out of 348 districts in the state, a few standout schools in this area are bucking the trend.
Excel Academy Charter School is a high-performing charter school that ranks in the top 25% of Massachusetts high schools and has a 4-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3%, and a low dropout rate of 6.4%. Similarly, Bradley Elementary School ranks in the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Another standout is Alighieri Dante Montessori School, a small elementary school with a 3-star rating that performs well above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math.
However, the majority of schools in the 02128 zip code struggle with low proficiency rates, with many scoring below 30% proficient in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The two high schools have graduation rates ranging from 79.7% to 92.3%, with dropout rates of 9.5% and 6.4% respectively. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to be strongly correlated with student performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve outcomes, especially at the lower-performing elementary and high schools in the area.
