Summary:
The 02129 zip code in Boston, Massachusetts is home to a single public high school, Charlestown High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 789 students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, Charlestown High School is a low-performing school, ranking 319 out of 349 Massachusetts high schools and earning a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Charlestown High School's academic performance is significantly below the Boston and Massachusetts state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.8% of 10th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 39.73% in Boston and 50.66% statewide. Similarly, just 16.67% of 10th-graders were proficient in Mathematics, versus 37.62% in Boston and 44.6% across Massachusetts. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 79.7% and dropout rate of 9.5% also suggest that a significant portion of students are not successfully completing their high school education.
The data indicates that Charlestown High School is a low-performing school that may benefit from a more in-depth analysis and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. While the reasons for the school's underperformance are not entirely clear from the available information, the combination of low proficiency rates, high spending per student, and relatively high dropout rates raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's educational programs and resource allocation.
