Summary:
ZIP code 02215 contains one high school, Boston Arts Academy, serving grades 9–12 with 500 students in the Boston district. Located at 174 Ipswich Street, Boston, MA 02215, it is the only public high school in this ZIP code, so parents should compare its results mainly with district and state averages rather than with other local high schools.
Its strongest outcomes are graduation and dropout rates. In 2024–25, Boston Arts Academy had a 93.9% graduation rate, compared with 81.3% for the Boston district, and a 3.5% dropout rate, less than half the district’s 8.8%. Its student-teacher ratio was 9.6, and its 2024–25 ELA proficiency was 61.6%, above both the district (39.73%) and the state (50.66%). Physics also stood out relative to the district: 27.1% versus 17.17% in 2025–26 and 25.62% versus 16.58% in 2024–25. Its 2025–26 rank was 240th of 353 schools, or the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, above the district’s listed 299th of 351, or 15th percentile with 1 star, but below its own 2024–25 peak of 157th of 349, or 55th percentile with 3 stars.
Current MCAS results are more mixed. In 2025–26, proficiency was 34.45% in ELA, 30.25% in mathematics, 24.56% in science, and 27.1% in physics; each was below the state, though physics remained above the district. Compared with 2024–25, ELA fell from 61.6% to 34.45%, science from 43.56% to 24.56%, and mathematics from 38.02% to 30.25%; because these are 10th-grade results, they reflect different student cohorts, not necessarily the same students’ progress. The free/reduced-lunch percentage for 2024–25 is not reported, so economic context is unavailable, and only one year of graduation/dropout data is provided. Overall, Boston Arts Academy shows strong graduation and dropout outcomes and a notable 2024–25 ELA result, but current proficiency is below the state in every reported 2025–26 subject.
