Burlington High School

Summary:

Burlington High School is a public high school serving 217 students in grades 9-12 in Burlington, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. R-4. The school has a diverse student population, with nearly equal percentages of White and Hispanic students, but its academic performance is significantly lower than state averages, particularly for student subgroups like Hispanic, male, and low-income students.

Burlington High School's academic challenges are evident across multiple metrics. Only 26% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to the state average of 58%, and just 9% were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31%. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as 191 out of 257 for female students and 246 out of 256 for male students, suggest significant achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52% to 58.53%, indicates a large proportion of students from low-income families, which can present additional academic and social-emotional challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby Stratton Senior High School, while much smaller with only 62 students, appears to outperform Burlington High School academically, with significantly higher test scores in areas like CMAS Science and SAT Reading and Writing. This suggests that factors such as school size and educational approaches may play a role in academic outcomes. Furthermore, Burlington High School's statewide ranking has declined from 145 out of 255 Colorado high schools in 2015-2016 to 310 out of 349 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, indicating persistent and worsening academic challenges that need to be addressed.

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.
