Boston, the state capital and largest city in Massachusetts, is a major urban center known for its rich colonial history, world-class universities, and vibrant neighborhoods. The O'Bryant School of Math & Science, located in Roxbury, is one of Boston's three exam schools and moved to its current Lee Street campus in 2015 after spending many years in various locations throughout the city. The school is named after John D. O'Bryant, a pioneering educator and civil rights advocate who was Boston's first Black deputy superintendent.
