Burnet Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Burnet Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 38.46% to 55.56%, compared to the district's 46.59%-51.32% and the state's 48.85%-53.96%. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 9.09% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the district's 22.69% and the state's 26.29%. However, the school ranks in the top 189 out of 2,443 Texas elementary schools for its African American students, indicating strong performance for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools in the Houston Independent School District, such as Henderson J Elementary, Tijerina Elementary, and Lantrip Elementary, Burnet Elementary generally underperforms. These nearby schools have higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger and stronger academic performance across STAAR assessments. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Burnet Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.
