Summary

Francis Wyman Elementary is a K–5 public school in Burlington, MA, serving 514 students and the largest elementary school in the Burlington district. The district ranks 80th of 351 Massachusetts districts (77th percentile, 4 stars), and the school itself placed 254th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Resources are a relative advantage: a 9.9 student–teacher ratio and $22,694 per pupil in 2020–2021, among the highest in the comparison set.

In 2025–2026, math is the clearest strength: 60.77% of students were proficient, about 5 points above the district and nearly 20 points above the state. ELA (50.19%) is essentially at the district average, while science (43.9%) trails the district and sits roughly 10–19 points behind every other Burlington elementary—Fox Hill (54.41%), Pine Glen (57.45%), and Memorial (63.33%). Grade-level results show where that slip happens: 3rd and 4th graders are above district in both ELA and math (3rd-grade math 72.34%), but 5th grade falls below district in ELA, math (44.05% vs. 55.68%), and science.

Rankings have been steady but relatively flat: 69th, 68th, and 72nd percentile over the past three years, while Fox Hill (80th), Memorial (76th), and Pine Glen (75th) all climbed. That leaves Francis Wyman fourth of four Burlington elementaries by state percentile, though still comfortably above state averages. Effectiveness rankings are also uneven across student groups: female and Hispanic students rank around the 74th–75th percentile, while students with disabilities (48th), low-income students (42nd), and Asian students (39th) rank below the school's overall 72nd percentile. Because spending and class sizes are already favorable, the data suggest targeted instructional support in upper-grade math and science may matter more than additional resources.
