Burbank Middle

Summary:

Burbank Middle is a public magnet middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,417 students in grades 6-8. With a diverse student population that is 92.52% Hispanic, the school consistently outperforms the Houston Independent School District (ISD) and the state of Texas in academic performance.

Burbank Middle's key strengths include its high proficiency rates on STAAR tests, particularly among Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students. The school ranks among the top 298th out of 2,116 Texas middle schools for Hispanic students and 89th out of 1,643 for ELL students. Additionally, Burbank Middle has impressively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 1.1% over the past 5 years, which are lower than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Houston ISD, such as Hamilton Middle, Key Middle, and Fonville Middle, Burbank Middle generally outperforms them in academic performance, subgroup performance, and dropout rates.

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.
