Boston Green Academy Horace Mann Charter School is a public charter school serving students in the city of Boston. As a charter school, it operates independently under a charter granted by the state while remaining tuition-free and open to Massachusetts residents through the public lottery admissions process. Boston is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, located on the Atlantic coast and home to a long history that includes the American Revolution, a major hub for higher education, and a dense urban neighborhood fabric. The school's name draws on Horace Mann, the 19th-century Massachusetts education reformer who helped establish the state's common school system.

Spending is total per-pupil expenditure from all sources. Dollar figures aren't adjusted for inflation. "MA median" is the middle district in each year; small districts can spend far more per student, so the median is a fairer yardstick than the average. Salary is the average across 43 full-time-equivalent teachers.
