Burnet Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of Burnet Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 28.57% for 3rd grade, 21.43% for 4th grade, and 20% for 5th grade, compared to district averages of 41.82%, 42.53%, and 45.06%, and state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Burnet Elementary also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.29% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby Burleson Elementary, Ireland Elementary, and Ross Elementary, Burnet Elementary's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher STAAR test scores, better rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, Burnet Elementary's performance is better than that of Goliad Elementary, another nearby ECISD school that also struggles academically. The nearby Harmony Science Academy - Odessa, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Burnet Elementary and other ECISD schools on STAAR tests, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective in improving academic outcomes.
