Burke Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.04%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 57.98% to 72.82% Hispanic. The school outperforms the district and state in several STAAR test subjects and grade levels, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade reading and math. Burke's English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently outperform the district and state, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's African American and White student subgroups tend to perform below the district and state averages, ranking in the bottom quartile.

While Burke Elementary outperforms the district and state in some areas, it lags behind several nearby schools, such as Krueger Elementary and Fernandez Elementary, in STAAR test scores and rankings. These nearby schools have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and more diverse student populations, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Burke Elementary's high percentage of students (72.54%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch may be a factor in the school's lower performance for certain student subgroups.

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.
