Burlington Elementary School

Summary:

Burlington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 334 students in grades PK-5 in Longmont, Colorado, which is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Specifically, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 36.8% of Burlington Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rate of 33.3% was lower than the district's 42.5% and the state's 34.2%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with female students outperforming male students and White students outperforming low socioeconomic status students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Central Elementary School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (72.2%) and Math (71.9%), Burlington Elementary is underperforming. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.69% to 51.5% over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions and a focus on equity and inclusion.

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.
