Burton Elementary

Summary:

Burton Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids Public Schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (85.37%) and economically disadvantaged (over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, Burton Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan, with test scores well below the district and state averages. Despite increased per-student spending, from $12,091 in 2019-2020 to $17,650 in 2022-2023, the school has shown minimal improvement in its academic outcomes over the past decade. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's persistent low performance. In comparison, nearby schools like Gerald R. Ford Academic Center and Southwest Elementary Academia Bilingue demonstrate relatively stronger academic results.

Another concerning trend at Burton Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2018-2019 to 20.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. This issue, coupled with the school's racial and socioeconomic disparities, underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the students at Burton Elementary.

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.
