Fenway’s non-standard educational approach has had startling results by standard educational measurements. Fenway students do well on the Massachusetts state tests (MCAS), typically surpassing city and state averages. Additionally, Fenway’s graduation and college admissions data exceed the city and state averages. 87% of Fenway students who come in as freshmen graduate in four years, and 88% of graduates are admitted to college. In a 2005 Boston Private Industry Council study, more Fenway graduates remained in college past their first year than graduates from any other Boston high school (excluding the three “exam” schools). Fenway’s success with students who might otherwise be disengaged from high school, including those with moderate to severe (.4) learning disabilities, has earned the school a number of awards, including the designation as one of the original ten New American High Schools. Fenway’s reputation for excellence draws visitors and researchers from around the world to study effective teaching and learning in an urban school.
