Burbank High School

Summary:

Burbank High School is a public magnet charter high school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,319 students. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burbank High School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams that are significantly below state and district averages. For example, in Algebra I, Burbank's proficiency rate of 21.05% is much lower than the San Antonio ISD average of 27.59% and the state average of 44.73%. Additionally, Burbank's four-year graduation rate of 92.0% is slightly lower than the nearby Brackenridge High School (92.6%) and Harlandale High School (89.9%), and its dropout rate of 1.5% in 2021-2022 is higher than these nearby schools.

Burbank High School's student population is predominantly Hispanic, making up 97.95% of the student body, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has a very high percentage of students (90.3%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic and performance challenges, and addressing the needs of this student population could be crucial in improving Burbank High School's overall outcomes.

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.
