8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePossibly the worst school in MA for the COVID response, as it is still going on. So many teachers are absent every day. Up to 45 teachers are absence each day, some for weeks at a time. Actually disgraceful. Some teachers are good, and they care. But there seems to be no rules for how many days teachers can be absent (and this is over 3 years). Some classes also dont teach content related to the class, but rather social issuesParent Review1y ago - Williams Elementary School

"Newton is a community of friendly smart people, excellent and progressive schools, and very very safe neighborhoods. It’s relatively diverse for a generally wealthy town, with lots of mixed income housing and some great blue collar neighborhoods.

"Auburndale is one of the communities of Newton and not the most expensive. Connected to 128, the Pike, subway, train station, bus, etc. Probably one of the best towns and this area of Newton is only 20 minutes from downtown via the Mass Pike or the train. Subway is 3/4 of a mile. Perfect for kids but the neighborhood has all ages and family compositions. Few houses on sale and many are sold without advertising. Ask around. Houses are not cheap but they never loose value because of the schools, etc. "
- M K.
- 13y ago
"There are a number of older houses in the area. However, location is great. You are next to rt 90 and 95, public transportation, parks and great schools."
