Students gain acceptance via an annual blind public lottery open to all Boston residents.

Our school community reflects amazing racial and cultural diversity, with families representing over 20 countries of origin and speaking more than 20 different languages at home. 98% of our students are people of color. We are prepared to serve a diverse range of needs, with 23% of students qualifying for special education services and 19% identified as English Language Learners.

Our core values are Equity, Freedom, Teamwork, Innovation, and Accountability. We are actively reframing our organizational processes and policies to be truly anti-racist. We believe that a staff diverse by race and other factors, a professional environment inclusive of all perspectives, and a culturally competent curriculum are vital to achieving our mission.
