The Media and Technology Charter High School
Wernick, Laura
DesignShare (NJ1)
This article describes the Media and Technology Charter High School (MATCH) in Boston, MA. MATCH had the highest overall pass rate of any comparable Boston high school: 89 percent of the class of 2005 passed both the English and math MCAS. That's not only 37 points higher than the Boston district average; it is 14 points better than the statewide average. That accomplishment is even more remarkable when one considers that 73 percent of MATCH pupils come from households modest enough to qualify for free or reduced school lunch. The article attributes the school's success to its one-on-one tutoring program that students receive from college graduates who reside in an onsite dormitory.
