Burnett Elementary School

Summary:

Burnett Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Douglasville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 435. The school is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Burnett Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Burnett Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Douglas County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25% of 3rd graders, 19.4% of 4th graders, and 17.8% of 5th graders at Burnett Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 31.6%, 30.4%, and 42.5% in Douglas County, and 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% statewide. Additionally, Burnett Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.58% to 93.56% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Douglas County district.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Burnett Elementary, ranging from $9,641 to $11,123 per student over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the needs of its students. When compared to the nearby schools in the Douglas County district, such as Bright Star Elementary School and Hal Hutchens Elementary, Burnett Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures, indicating that the challenges faced by Burnett Elementary are not shared by all schools in the district.

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.
