Summary

Memorial is a K–5 elementary school in Burlington, MA — a suburb roughly 12 miles northwest of Boston — serving 372 students as part of the Burlington district, which ranks 80th of 351 Massachusetts districts (77th percentile, 4 stars). Memorial's own 2025–2026 rank is 212 of 899 schools, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars — its highest shown rank in this dataset. That continues a clear upward climb over the past decade: from the 43rd–45th percentile in 2015–16 and 2016–17, to the 66th percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25, and now the 76th. By rank, it is now second among the four Burlington elementary schools, behind Fox Hill and ahead of Pine Glen and Francis Wyman Elementary.

Math and science are Memorial's standout strengths. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 65.32%, well above the district's 55.83% and the state's 41.11%, while science proficiency was 63.33% — 15.67 points above the district and 22.35 points above the state. Among Burlington elementary peers, Memorial posted the highest math and science proficiency, ahead of Fox Hill, Pine Glen, and Francis Wyman. It also compares very favorably with nearby Woburn elementary schools, where math proficiency generally ranged from roughly 26% to 50%. The one nearby school that still clearly outperforms Memorial is Joseph Estabrook in Lexington, a 98th-percentile school with 80.92% math and 79.05% science.

ELA is the clear area to watch. Memorial's all-grade ELA proficiency of 46.55% is above the state's 40.03% but below the district's 50.82% and below all three Burlington peers. Grade 3 is the weakest spot: 44.19% at Memorial versus 56.87% in the district, though grade 5 ELA was above both district and state. This is a change from 2024–2025, when Memorial's ELA was above the district's. Subgroup results are generally strong: female, male, and low-socioeconomic-status students each ranked around the 73rd–77th percentile in 2025–2026, and special education students improved from the 37th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 65th in 2024–2025. Resources look favorable as well, with per-student spending of $23,289 in 2020–2021 and a 10.0 student-teacher ratio, though the sharp ELA and math/science shifts are worth tracking over the next few years.
