Burlington Primary

Summary:

Burlington Primary is an elementary school located in Burlington, West Virginia, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school is part of the Mineral County Schools district, which is ranked 36 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Burlington Primary is its consistent academic excellence. The school consistently outperforms the Mineral County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments across grades 3 and 4. In the 2023-2024 school year, Burlington Primary had 78.6% of 3rd graders and 46.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 41.8% and 43.5% for the Mineral County Schools district, respectively. Similarly, the school had 42.9% of 3rd graders and 60% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.9% and 37.1% for the Mineral County Schools district. This strong academic performance has earned Burlington Primary a ranking of 101 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the school's lack of racial diversity is a notable concern. Burlington Primary has a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to the surrounding schools, with 96.08% White students in the 2022-2023 school year. This lack of diversity may limit the exposure of students to different cultural perspectives and experiences. Additionally, the school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, with a dip in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years, suggesting that the school may have faced some challenges during those years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Frankfort Intermediate School and Fountain Primary School, Burlington Primary stands out as a high-performing school, particularly in Mathematics, but the district as a whole has pockets of excellence.

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.
