Yes, the perennial list-topper earned the No. 1 spot again in the Bay State, in the 2024 public school rankings that were released on Tuesday. The exam school took No. 27 on the national list, only one of two Mass. schools in the top 100 (Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School in Hadley was ranked 100th).
