Burnley-Moran Elementary

Q: Is Burnley-Moran Elementary a good school?

Burnley-Moran Elementary ranks 405 th of 1114 Virginia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Burnley-Moran Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlottesville, Virginia, serving 289 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Charlottesville City Public Schools district.

Burnley-Moran stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. The school has a higher percentage of White students (55.36%) compared to more diverse student populations at other local schools. Academically, Burnley-Moran consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores for Math and English, with 77.05% of 3rd graders and 80% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 59.88% and 62.22% for the district, respectively. The school's White students rank 38th out of 979 Virginia elementary schools, a significant outlier. However, Burnley-Moran also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (60.21%) than nearby schools, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

These findings raise important questions about equity and access to resources within the Charlottesville City Public Schools district. Burnley-Moran's strong academic performance, particularly among its White student population, contrasts with the lower-performing schools in the district, highlighting the need for a deeper analysis of the factors contributing to these disparities. At the same time, the school's ability to effectively support its economically disadvantaged students could provide valuable insights for the district as a whole.

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.

We had two children at Burnley-Moran, during the years 2000-2003 and 2004-2008.

Both our children learned a lot at BME and liked it too! Close Quote

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.
