Best Public Schools in Burlington, OK

Summary:

The city of Burlington, Oklahoma is home to two standout schools - Burlington Elementary School and Burlington High School. These schools have consistently ranked among the top performers in the state, with Burlington Elementary School being ranked 1st out of 323 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year and Burlington High School ranking 30th out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Burlington Elementary School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking over the past decade, moving from the top 35% of Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to the top 0.3% in 2021-2022. The school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.5:1, which likely contributes to its exceptional academic performance. Meanwhile, Burlington High School has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools over the past decade, with 50% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts and 30% proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, as evidenced by the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools, these institutions have proven to be highly effective in supporting student learning and achievement. The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school ($17,867 vs. $33,207) is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation to understand the factors driving this disparity and how it impacts the educational experience and outcomes at each school.
