Burrville Elementary School

Summary:

Burrville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Washington, DC, serving 278 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) district, which is ranked 26 out of 47 districts in DC and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burrville Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (96.04%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 90-97% African American. However, Burrville's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the DCPS and District of Columbia averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Burrville's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 11.4%, compared to 35% for DCPS and 28.2% for the district. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 59th out of 97 schools in 2014-2015 to 113th out of 126 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Burrville ($27,467 in 2022-2023), the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. In comparison, nearby schools like KIPP DC - Quest Academy PCS, KIPP DC - Arts and Technology Academy PCS, and Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom PCS - East End, while also serving predominantly African American student populations, generally outperform Burrville in terms of academic achievement and statewide rankings.

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.
