Burnett Elementary

Summary:

Burnett Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 484 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burnett Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.66% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 45.95% in the Pasadena ISD. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students also performing in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Burnett's performance for Gifted and Talented students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 100 schools in the state.

While Burnett Elementary spends more per student than the state average, the school's performance lags behind nearby Atkinson Elementary and Moore Elementary, which generally outperform Burnett on academic measures. This suggests that the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students may present unique challenges that require more targeted interventions and support programs to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
