Pine Burr Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with only 10.39% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 20.22% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and it ranks particularly low for its performance on student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, Pine Burr Elementary ranked 4,353 out of 4,401 Texas elementary schools for its Hispanic student performance, and 3,483 out of 3,556 for its English Language Learner student performance.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Pine Burr Elementary, at 97.11% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicates a high concentration of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, Pine Burr Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.8, higher than nearby schools like Cottonwood Elementary (12.2) and Falcon Ridge Elementary (13.9). The consistently low performance of Pine Burr Elementary, both in terms of overall school ranking and specific student subgroup rankings, suggests that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, and may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of its diverse student population.
