Burnsville Elementary School

Summary:

Burnsville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Burnsville, West Virginia, serving 121 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Braxton County Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burnsville Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school has a predominantly white student population (over 98%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.5%). Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio (11-11.7 students per teacher), the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. In comparison, Sutton Elementary School, also in the Braxton County district, ranks significantly higher (top 6% of West Virginia elementary schools) and has much higher proficiency rates.

The school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10% of West Virginia elementary schools. Additionally, Burnsville Elementary School's statewide ranking and performance on state assessments have been declining over the past several years, with the school ranking 380 out of 380 West Virginia elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school is located within a reasonable distance (less than 20 miles) of several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Gilmer County Elementary School, suggesting potential opportunities for collaboration or resource-sharing to improve the academic outcomes at Burnsville Elementary School.

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.
