Summary

Burgin Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 626 students. It is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 660 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burgin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.51% to 93.29% over the past 3 years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. Despite these challenges, Burgin Elementary spends significantly more per student ($10,648 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 14.9 over the past 3 years.

Several other nearby elementary schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Blanton, South Davis, and Goodman, also exhibit low academic performance and high poverty rates, suggesting that Burgin Elementary is part of a broader challenge facing the district's schools in this area. The combination of high poverty rates, small class sizes, and high per-student spending at Burgin Elementary suggests that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that require a comprehensive, targeted approach to address the root causes of its underperformance.
