Burrton Middle School/High School

Summary:

Burrton Middle School/High School is a small public school serving grades 7-12 in Burrton, Kansas, with a student population of just 89 students. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas high schools and earning a 0-3 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Academically, the school struggles, with only 17.24% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 13.79% proficient or better in mathematics, far below the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6% respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Andale High, Hesston High, and Sedgwick High consistently outperforming Burrton Middle School/High School across various metrics. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.12% to 52.38%, suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance.

The inconsistent and generally low performance of Burrton Middle School/High School compared to state and local averages indicates the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and strategies to support student success. While the school's small size and low Burrton district ranking may be contributing factors, the stark disparities in subgroup performance suggest the school must do more to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
