More than 80 percent of Boston students are “high needs.”

High needs student share for District, Horace Mann and Commonwealth Charter Schools.

Note: High needs students are those who are either low income (prior to SY15 and the teal line, and from SY22 to present, after the blue line), economically disadvantaged (from 2015 to 2021), English Learner (El)/former El, or a student with disabilities. A former El student is a student not currently an El, but had been at some point in the four previous academic years.
