Summary

Pine Glen Elementary is a K–5 school in Burlington, MA, a suburban community northwest of Boston, serving about 320 students as part of the Burlington district, which ranks 80th of 351 Massachusetts districts (77th percentile, 4 stars). Pine Glen itself ranks 225th of 899 elementary schools statewide (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a strong rebound from 384th of 916 (58th percentile) in 2023–2024. Its student-teacher ratio of 9.5 (2024–2025) is the lowest among the nearby schools in this comparison set, and per-student spending was $22,406 (2020–2021), high overall though below Memorial, Boutwell, and Francis Wyman within Burlington.

Academically, Pine Glen is above both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: ELA 54.09%, math 59.24%, and science 57.45%, compared with 50.82%, 55.83%, and 47.66% for Burlington and 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98% statewide. Science is the standout — the grade-5 science result is 9.79 points above the district and 16.47 points above the state. ELA is the highest among Burlington's K–5 schools, ahead of Fox Hill, Memorial, and Francis Wyman. Math, while still above district and state, ranks fourth of the four Burlington K–5 schools, and results vary sharply by grade: grade 3 is very strong (ELA 68.42%, math 71.43%), while grade 4 math is 42.31%, well below the district's 58.62% and far below same-district peers. Grade 4 math is the clearest improvement target in the data.

Subgroup results are mixed. The school's relative effectiveness for female students rose to the 78th percentile from the 48th in 2023–2024, and students from low-income families have held fairly steady around the 66th–67th percentile. Special education results, however, sit at the 35th percentile — noticeably below the school's overall 75th percentile. Compared with nearby non-Burlington schools, Pine Glen generally outperforms Woburn and Billerica schools, while Wilmington's West Intermediate (155th of 899, 83rd percentile) is a strong nearby benchmark, especially in science. Keep in mind that several comparison schools serve different grade spans, and free/reduced-price lunch data were unavailable.
