Burnet Elementary

Summary:

Burnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Midland, Texas, serving around 500 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Midland Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 556 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Burnet Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Midland ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 3rd graders at Burnet Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 42.46% for Midland ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 11.59% of 5th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 27.72% for Midland ISD and 26.29% for Texas. Burnet Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.43% to 82.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Bush Elementary, Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary, and Barbara Yarbrough Elementary generally outperform Burnet Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the performance differences. Burnet Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners (ELLs), indicating the need for targeted interventions to address the specific needs of these underperforming groups.

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.
