Summary

David G Burnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 627 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD).

While the school performs better than some nearby schools like Jose 'joe' May Elementary, its overall academic performance is a significant challenge. David G Burnet Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests that are 5-10 percentage points lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subjects. The school's science performance is particularly weak, with only 9.26% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 22.94% for the district and 29.57% for the state. However, the school does outperform the district and state in STAAR Spanish assessments, especially in reading.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (95-97%) and English Language Learners (ELLs) may contribute to these academic challenges. In contrast, nearby schools like Walnut Hill International Leadership Academy, Everette Lee Degolyer Elementary, and Harry C Withers Elementary generally outperform David G Burnet Elementary and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and higher percentages of gifted and talented students. To improve, the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for its economically disadvantaged and ELL students, as well as strengthen its science instruction and better support its gifted and talented population.
