Burnet Elementary

Summary:

Burnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving 389 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ector County Independent School District, which is ranked 654 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burnet Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low rankings, poor performance on STAAR assessments, and struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (71.47%) compared to the state average, and consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with only 20.75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 36.89% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 70.93% to 77.38% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to its underperformance.

While the nearby schools in the Ector County Independent School District, such as Burleson Elementary, Ireland Elementary, and Sam Houston Elementary, also struggle academically, one exception is Gale Pond Alamo Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms the district and state on STAAR assessments. Additionally, the El Magnet at Reagan Elementary, a public magnet school in the district, stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools and significantly outperforming Burnet Elementary and the district on STAAR assessments.

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.
