Supporting excellence at Charlestown High School
Problem:
In partnership with Bain, Boston's Charlestown High School wanted to improve its test scores, quality of life and attendance.
Charlestown High School, a Boston inner-city school, established a three-to five-year partnership with Bain to work on issues facing the school and improve its overall performance.

The school's top three priorities were 

  • improving performance on local and national tests
  • improving quality of life for students and faculty
  • improving attendance and reducing drop-out rates

Bain's challenge was to translate its consulting expertise to workable solutions that met the school's needs.
