Burbank Elementary

Summary:

Burbank Elementary is a public elementary school in Long Beach, California, serving 577 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, which is ranked 654 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Burbank Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) slightly below the district and state averages, and math proficiency rates significantly lower. However, the school has performed exceptionally well in certain student subgroups, ranking 26th out of 593 California elementary schools for African American students in ELA and 219th out of 3,160 schools for English Language Learners in ELA. Burbank Elementary also faces challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.8% in 2017-2018 to 39.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.29% to 82.32% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Burbank Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Willard Elementary and Mann Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Fremont Elementary, which is ranked in the top 5% of California elementary schools. Burbank's student-teacher ratio is also higher than most nearby schools, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Despite these challenges, Burbank Elementary's exceptional performance in certain student subgroups suggests that the school may have effective strategies in place to support these populations, and there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and collaboration with neighboring schools.

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.
