Marblehead Community Charter Public School is a public charter middle school that is part of the Marblehead Community Charter Public school district, located in Marblehead, MA with about 229 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 8th Grade. With about 20 teachers, Marblehead Community Charter Public School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Marblehead Community Charter Public School (MCCPS) is a tuition-free, independent public school serving students in grades 4 through 8. Located in the coastal town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, the school distinguishes itself through a rigorous, project-based curriculum that emphasizes small class sizes and a collaborative learning environment.

The school is defined by its "community" focus, placing a strong emphasis on the relationship between students, teachers, parents, and the broader Marblehead area. Through its experiential learning model, students are often engaged in hands-on projects that connect classroom concepts to real-world applications. With a commitment to inclusivity and individualized attention, MCCPS seeks to prepare its middle-school-aged students for the transition to high school by balancing academic challenge with a supportive, community-centered culture.
