Summary

C C Burr is a K–5 elementary school at 171 Pine Street in Auburndale, part of the Newton district, serving about 350 students in a compact neighborhood that also includes Williams Elementary less than a mile away.

In 2025–2026, C C Burr ranked 41st of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools—95th percentile, 5 stars—after jumping from the 86th percentile two years earlier. Science is the standout: 83.33% proficient, about 16 points above Newton and 42 points above the state. Math is also strong at 75% proficient, nearly 34 points above state and consistently above district. ELA is the relative soft spot: 65.87% proficient, only slightly above Newton and the one subject where the school dipped below district in 2023–2024. Compared with nearby Newton schools, C C Burr is in a top tier of two with A E Angier, trailing it narrowly but leading every other peer by 6–12 points in math and 16–27 points in science. Against the closest schools, Williams and Franklin, the gap is large.

The most distinctive evidence is in subgroup results: special education students rose to the 99th percentile—4th of 709 schools statewide—and low-income students moved from the 35th to the 91st percentile. The school achieves this without elite resourcing: per-student spending $21,241 and a student–teacher ratio of 11.1, both less favorable than some Newton peers. Across the district line, the contrast with Waltham is stark: C C Burr's proficiency rates are roughly 2x to 3.5x those of Henry Whittemore, William F. Stanley, and Thomas R Plympton, and William F. Stanley spends about $6,300 more per student for roughly half the outcomes.
