Summary:
The two schools in zip code 66413 - Burlingame Junior/Senior High and Burlingame Elementary - are both underperforming compared to state averages, with low statewide rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger. The schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Burlingame Junior/Senior High has particularly low test scores, with only 37.49% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4.16% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 27.57% and 21.31%, respectively. In contrast, Burlingame Elementary has mixed performance, with some grades performing better than others in both English Language Arts and mathematics.
The data suggests that the Burlingame Public School District, which oversees both schools, needs to focus on targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by students, particularly in the area of mathematics. While increased funding may not be the sole solution, ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education should be a top priority for the district.
