Burton Street Elementary

Summary:

Burton Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Panorama City, California, serving 283 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burton Street Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance, and significant disparities in the performance of specific student subgroups. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.64% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 47.04% statewide and 43.06% in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school also ranks particularly low for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. These issues may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 91.3% to 95.37% over the past few years.

When comparing Burton Street Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Panorama City Elementary and Ranchito Avenue Elementary, it becomes clear that Burton Street is underperforming. These nearby schools have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement at Burton Street Elementary, and with the right strategies and resources, the school could potentially enhance its educational outcomes and provide a better learning experience for its students.

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.
