Summary:
Zip code 02130 contains nine schools: five elementary, three high schools, and one alternative PK–12 charter, with no standalone middle schools. Together they enroll 4,576 students, ranging from 58 at Community Academy to 1,189 at Match Charter Public School, with a median school size of 428. Most are part of the Boston district, which ranks 299 of 351 schools at the 15th percentile and 1 star, while Match Charter Public School (District) operates separately. Free/reduced-price lunch figures are blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
The academic standout is Manning Elementary School, ranked 126 of 899 (86th percentile, 4 stars) and improving steadily. Its all-grade proficiency — 68.06% ELA, 63.89% math, 70.59% science — is the only result here well above the state in all three subjects, and 5th-grade math reaches 94.12%. By contrast, Hennigan Elementary School ranks 882 of 899 (2nd percentile, 0 stars), with 6.42% ELA, 6.91% math, and 11.63% science. Kennedy John F Elementary School sits between them (34–38% across subjects, above the district), while Curley K-8 School and Boston Teachers Union Elementary Pilot School beat the district but fall below the state. Both K–8 schools show a sharp divide: solid grades 3–6 results, then very weak grades 7–8 scores.
Among high schools, Margarita Muniz Academy posts the highest graduation rate (89.9%) but very low math proficiency (1.94% all-grade). English High School graduates 86.6% yet scores low across subjects, with an 11.5% dropout rate.
