David G Burnet Elementary

Summary:

David G Burnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 631 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending, David G Burnet Elementary consistently underperforms the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 63.16%, compared to 41.82% for Dallas ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with 6th grade proficiency rates of only 9.46% compared to 31.84% for Dallas ISD and 37.1% for Texas. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (95.09%) with an extremely high percentage (over 96%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Walnut Hill International Leadership Academy, Everette Lee Degolyer Elementary, and Harry C Withers Elementary, generally outperform David G Burnet Elementary on STAAR test scores, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with the academic progress of other schools in the Dallas ISD, despite the increased per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios.

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.
