Codman Academy Charter Public

Located at 637 Washington Street in the heart of Dorchester, Massachusetts, Codman Academy Charter Public operates as an active, independent charter school district serving the greater Boston metropolitan area. Set within a dynamic, large-city environment, this single-school district offers a seamless educational pathway that spans from pre-kindergarten all the way through twelfth grade. With a focused total enrollment of 344 students across its elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, Codman Academy maintains a close-knit learning community designed to give families the stability of a continuous academic journey within a single campus environment.

A defining feature of the district is its remarkably robust staffing model, structured to deliver intensive academic instruction and well-rounded student support. Backed by over 66 full-time equivalent teachers alongside nearly 65 support staff members—contributing to a total district staff of more than 133 full-time equivalent personnel—the academy offers an impressively low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly five to one. The student body mirrors the vibrant cultural diversity of its urban neighborhood, serving a predominantly Black and Hispanic student population. For parents, students, and educational researchers, Codman Academy exemplifies an attentive charter model where substantial staffing resources and strong community ties combine to support holistic student growth.
