Report Indicates Boston Public Schools Intervention Did Not Boost Academic Results

A new report by Dr. Kerry Donahue concludes that the Commonwealth's 2020-2025 intervention in Boston Public Schools (BPS) failed to improve academic outcomes. While operational and administrative issues were addressed, student performance, particularly for Black, Latino, multilingual, disabled, and low-income students, did not see improvement. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the intervention strategy and future accountability for BPS.
