Summary:
The Burnham Wood Charter School District in Texas consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds with a focus on academic excellence.
The standout schools in the district are the Linguistic Academy of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site and Howard Burnham Elementary, both of which have earned 4-star ratings and consistently high rankings among Texas elementary schools. These schools boast strong academic performance, with 60-83% of students proficient or better in reading and 67-74% proficient or better in math on the STAAR assessments. In contrast, the district's high school, Davinci School for Science and the Arts, has a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.7% but lags behind state averages on some STAAR end-of-course assessments.
The schools in the Burnham Wood Charter School District serve a diverse student population, with the majority being Hispanic (89-93% across the schools). However, there is a notable difference in the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, with the Linguistic Academy of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site having a much lower rate (38.04%) compared to the other schools (73.79% and 77.15%). The district could explore ways to address these socioeconomic disparities and improve performance on STAAR assessments, particularly in areas like 8th-grade math and science.
