Summary:
The city of Burbank, Washington is home to three schools: Columbia Elementary, Columbia High School, and Columbia Middle School, all part of the Columbia (Walla Walla) School District. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, as well as below-average graduation rates.
Across all three schools, academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates ranging from just 12.33% to 42.59% - well below the state averages. Columbia High School has a graduation rate of only 86%, and a dropout rate of 9.3%, both of which are problematic. Additionally, the schools serve a high-need population, with 56.4% to 58.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests that the Burbank schools face significant challenges, from low academic achievement to socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success. Despite high per-student spending, the schools have consistently underperformed, indicating a need for systemic changes and interventions to improve outcomes for the students in this community.
