Glenn F Burton School

Summary:

Glenn F Burton School is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade in Glendale, Arizona, which is part of the Glendale Elementary District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a significant African American presence as well.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, Glenn F Burton School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly below state and district averages. This is particularly true for the school's Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner student subgroups. The school also experiences relatively high dropout rates compared to the state and district. Nearby schools like Glendale Landmark School and Barcelona Elementary School also struggle academically, but some schools in the area, such as Academy of Math and Science Glendale, perform better.

The data suggests that Glenn F Burton School faces significant challenges in academic performance, which may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. To address these challenges, a comprehensive approach that addresses the school's socioeconomic, demographic, and instructional factors may be necessary, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and collaboration with community organizations to support students and their families.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
