44% of the student body lives at or below the poverty line.
Gender:
Girls compose 54% of the student body and boys compose 46%.
Special Needs:
19% of our students are on an Individualized Education Plan or a 504 Plan.
Race:
The student body is 57% White Non Hispanic, 25% African American, 14% Hispanic, and 4% Asian, Native American and Bi-Racial. As BCCS has developed a strong reputation across the city, we have been able to attract students from diverse backgrounds and from neighborhoods beyond South Boston, our original location.
