Summary

Linscott-Rumford is a K–5 elementary school in Woburn, MA, serving 209 students, and it is the smallest of the Woburn elementary schools in this comparison set. It ranks 311th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 65th percentile, 3 stars — while the Woburn district as a whole ranks 221st of 351 districts statewide (37th percentile, 2 stars).

In 2025–2026, the school's all-grade MCAS proficiency was above both the Woburn district and state averages in every tested subject: 48.25% in English language arts, 49.56% in math, and 52.78% in science. That is roughly 11.8 points above the district in ELA, 16.2 points in math, and 17.5 points in science. Among nearby Woburn elementary schools, Linscott-Rumford leads in all three subjects, ahead of Malcolm White, Hurld-Wyman Elementary School, Shamrock, Mary D Altavesta, and Goodyear Elementary School — with the largest margins in math (about 5.7 points ahead of the next school) and science (about 8.7 points). Compared with out-of-district schools in Reading and Burlington, the picture is more mixed: the school's ELA proficiency tops Memorial's 46.55% but trails Fox Hill, Pine Glen Elementary, Alice M Barrows, and Joshua Eaton, and it trails all five in math and science.

Historically, Linscott-Rumford was an exceptional school, peaking at 70th of 942 schools in 2018–2019 (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and it has since settled into a mid-60s percentile band. Its strongest 2025–2026 grade-level results were 3rd grade ELA (54.76%), 3rd grade math (53.66%), 4th grade math (50%), 5th grade ELA (52.78%), and 5th grade science (52.78%) — all above district and state. The clearest soft spot is 4th grade ELA at 36.11%, just above the district (35.57%) but slightly below the state (37.43%). Low-income students ranked at the 69th percentile, slightly above the school overall, while other subgroup results were uneven. Notably, the school achieves these results with the highest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools (14.8 in 2024–2025) and mid-range per-student spending ($18,752 in 2020–2021).
