COMMUNITY ACADEMY

Community Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Boston school district, located in Jamaica Plain, MA with about 79 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Community Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Community Academy is a specialized alternative high school program located in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Operating as part of the Boston Public Schools (BPS) district, the school is specifically designed to support students who may have struggled in traditional classroom environments or who require a more flexible, personalized approach to earn their high school diploma.

The academy emphasizes a small-school model, which allows for increased individualized attention, stronger student-teacher relationships, and a focused academic environment. By providing targeted interventions and a supportive culture, Community Academy aims to help students overcome barriers to graduation, re-engage with their education, and prepare for post-secondary success. For more specific details regarding their curriculum, enrollment, and current programs, the school maintains an official presence through the Boston Public Schools district website.
