Summary

Burns Middle School is a public middle school located in Brandon, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,192 students. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Burns Middle School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the Hillsborough District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Burns Middle School had 83% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 59% for the Hillsborough District and 60% for Florida. The school also performs better than the district and state in FAST/English Language Arts and FAST/Math assessments across grades 6-8. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions.

While the school's free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 39.09% to 48.34% in recent years, are lower than some nearby schools like Turkey Creek Middle School, Dowdell Middle Magnet School, Giunta Middle School, and Mann Middle School, the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are within the range of the nearby schools, suggesting a relatively consistent level of resource allocation across the district.
