The school also spends more per student, at $14,635, compared to $12,120 at Mary K Vollmer Elementary School.

The data suggests that students at Mary K Vollmer Elementary School may experience a dip in academic performance when transitioning to Henry V Burger Junior High School, as evidenced by lower 7th-grade ELA proficiency rates compared to 6th-grade ELA proficiency at the elementary school.
