COMMUNITY ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND HEALTH

Community Academy of Science and Health is a Title I public high school that is part of the Boston school district, located in Dorchester, MA with about 389 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 37 teachers, Community Academy of Science and Health has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

The Community Academy of Science and Health (CASH) is a small, specialized high school within the Boston Public Schools district, located in the Dorchester neighborhood. Dedicated to fostering a supportive and rigorous academic environment, the school focuses on preparing students for success in both college and career pathways. It is particularly noted for its emphasis on science and health-related fields, providing students with opportunities to engage with curricula that bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world health applications.

The school is defined by its close-knit community atmosphere, which is designed to ensure that each student receives personalized attention from faculty and staff. By leveraging its small size, CASH cultivates a strong school culture where student voices are encouraged and academic milestones are closely monitored. Through a combination of core graduation requirements, enrichment programs, and a commitment to inclusivity, the Community Academy of Science and Health aims to graduate well-rounded, socially conscious individuals ready to contribute to their communities and the broader workforce.
