Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy Charter Public

The Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy Charter Public is an independent charter district located at 23 Leonard Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Situated in a large city setting within the greater Boston-Cambridge-Newton metropolitan region, the district historically functioned as its own local educational agency for federal programs, dedicated to serving middle school students in grades 6 through 8. According to the 2024–2025 National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) dataset, the district is currently designated as closed, reporting no active, operational school facilities under its administration.

Prior to its operational closure, the district educated a focused student body of 114 middle schoolers, including 61 male and 53 female students distributed across the 6th grade (32 students), 7th grade (35 students), and 8th grade (47 students). The student population reflected the rich cultural diversity of its urban community, predominantly serving Black (88 students) and Hispanic (23 students) youth, alongside Asian, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. For parents, local families, and educational researchers tracking public charter outcomes, the district offers valuable historical context regarding middle school options, demographic trends, and charter lifecycle transitions in the urban Boston area.
