Burlington Elementary School

Summary:

Burlington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 326 students in grades PK-4 in Burlington, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. R-4. The school faces significant challenges, including below-average academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-income families, and a declining racial diversity compared to the state average.

On standardized tests, only 27.7% of Burlington Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 19.3% were proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.3, compared to the nearby Stratton Elementary School, which has a ratio of 13.9. Additionally, over 56% of Burlington Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of low-income families in the community.

Interestingly, the racial makeup of Burlington Elementary has become less diverse in recent years, with the percentage of White students increasing from 58.86% in 2020-2021 to 55.83% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of Hispanic students has decreased from 38.74% to 42.64% during the same period. In comparison, Stratton Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (73.45%) and better academic performance, with proficiency rates closer to the state average. These factors suggest that Burlington Elementary faces significant challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes 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.
