Summary:
The 91502 zip code area of Burbank, California is home to two schools that are part of the Burbank Unified school district. While one school, Burbank High, appears to be a strong performer, the other, Burbank Unified School District Community Day, is facing significant challenges.
Burbank High is a large high school with over 2,400 students and a consistent ranking in the top 25% of California high schools. The school boasts a strong 93.6% four-year graduation rate and test scores that generally exceed district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, the Burbank Unified School District Community Day school is much smaller, with only 27 students, and appears to be struggling, with a very low statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and poor science test scores.
The data highlights the importance of looking beyond just overall school rankings and test scores. While Burbank High is a relatively strong performer, the Community Day school's poor performance, despite its small size, suggests the need to closely examine the unique challenges faced by alternative and specialized schools in the area.
