The ZIP simple average of the three tested schools is above the Boston district in ELA, math, and science but below the state in all three, largely because of one school. Middle grades are a systemic weak point: across the tested schools, 7th-grade math is below 20%, 8th-grade science below 15%, and 8th-grade civics below 20%. Science and civics also lag at the all-grade level. Average per-student spending is $26,825.50, but it is from 2020–2021, and free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school, so it is unknown rather than zero. Rank trends differ: one school is improving, another is declining, and one remains persistently low; these results are strong signals, not complete descriptions of school quality.
