About the School
The Academy of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School (APR) is a free, public school offering a rigorous college preparatory program to 535 students in 5th through 12th grade. For 22 years, APR has been committed to serving students of Boston such that they achieve their full intellectual and social potential, and we now have more than 500 alumni. We operate as an integrated middle and high school and provide extensive college placement and alumni supports, and we provide opportunities for students to travel and learn outside of our walls.
Our work is grounded in the vision that graduates of APR have a focused mind and a big heart. They are ready for post-secondary education because they have mastered college and career ready academic and social skills including the knowledge and dispositions to joyfully pursue future opportunities based on their passions and participate in and transform civic life. We prepare our students to succeed in college and career and to that end we provide them with experiences on other campuses (such as the dual enrollment program with local colleges) as well as our annual China exchange program. Each year our high school students can spend either three weeks or three months in Beijing with our sister school.
School Performance
Student performance data displayed below is from Next Generation MCAS results. For more data on schools, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) website. For schools with multiple campuses, the data below represents all schools in that network, not just the single school, unless otherwise noted. If data is not shown, it is not available for that school (e.g. the school might not serve any tested grades, or be too small to publicly release its scores).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DESE did not issue school, district, or state accountability determinations for the 2019-2020 school year due to the cancellation of state assessments and school closures related to COVID-19. As a result, there is no student performance data available from the state for school year 2019-2020.
