Summary:
ZIP code 02136 covers Hyde Park in Boston and contains 8 schools — 4 labeled elementary and 4 labeled high, though grade spans overlap (some "high" schools include middle grades and one elementary school runs PK–8) — serving a total of 3,871 students across five Boston public schools and three charter-district schools. Boston Renaissance Charter Public School is the largest at 938 students, while Channing Elementary School is the smallest at 194. State MCAS benchmarks for 2025–2026 are ELA 40.03%, Mathematics 41.11%, and Science 40.98%.
Grew Elementary School is the clear standout: the only school here above the state in all three subjects (ELA 42.34%, Mathematics 48.65%, Science 57.89%), with a rank climb from the 20th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th percentile in 2025–2026.

Completion and test scores tell different stories. Boston Preparatory Charter Public School (96.0% graduation, 0.0% dropout) and Academy Of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School (97.7% graduation, 2.3% dropout) both post proficiency well below state levels, and Academy has the lowest All Grades Mathematics rate at 11.57%. New Mission High School has strong completion (93.2% graduation, 3.0% dropout) but slipped from 41.14% to 28.87% in All Grades ELA and from the 43rd to the 29th percentile. Roosevelt K-8 School and Channing spend the most per student ($28,022 and $27,936) with the smallest class ratios, yet rank in the 27th and 7th percentiles; Roosevelt's 8th grade results fall into the single digits.
