Summary:
The 02130 zip code area of Boston, Massachusetts is home to four high schools: English High School, Margarita Muniz Academy, Greater Egleston High School, and Community Academy. These schools serve a high-need student population and consistently perform well below the Boston and Massachusetts averages across various metrics.
None of the four high schools in the 02130 zip code area stand out as clear performers. All of them have very low statewide rankings, with English High School and Margarita Muniz Academy ranked in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts high schools in recent years. The schools also struggle with poor graduation rates, high dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores compared to state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from just 3.64% to 6.94% at these schools, compared to 39.73% for Boston and 50.66% for Massachusetts.
The data suggests a systemic issue in the educational outcomes for this area, as the schools have consistently performed poorly over time with little to no improvement. The wide range in spending per student, from $25,346 to $47,542, also raises questions about resource allocation and whether the higher-spending schools are achieving better results. Additionally, the smaller school sizes, particularly at Greater Egleston High School (76 students) and Community Academy (41 students), may present unique challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and providing a comprehensive educational experience.
