Summary

Burnet Elementary is a K-5 school in Odessa, TX, serving 325 students within the Ector County Independent School District (Isd), where about 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown extreme academic ups and downs, with its state ranking swinging from the 2nd percentile to the 39th percentile in recent years, and currently sits at the 14th percentile with a 1-star rating. This instability is a key concern, as nearby schools like Ross Elementary (49th percentile) and Blanton Elementary (50th percentile) show more consistent, mid-range performance, while El Magnet At Reagan Elementary (99th percentile) is a top performer just over a mile away.

A notable bright spot occurred in the 2022-2023 school year, when Burnet achieved its highest ranking in a decade (39th percentile) and posted test scores above both district and state averages in 5th grade math (69% proficient) and 5th grade science (39% proficient). However, this success was not sustained, and by the 2024-2025 school year, proficiency rates plummeted—for example, 5th grade math dropped to 16.7% proficient. This drastic swing suggests that while the school has the capacity for high performance, it struggles to maintain consistent, high-quality instruction year-over-year, raising questions about changes in staffing, curriculum, or leadership after that successful year.

One persistent weakness is 5th grade science, where only 7.14% of students were proficient in the most recent year, compared to 18.94% in the district and 29.57% statewide. On a positive note, the school has shown relative strength with its Special Education students, ranking in the 41st percentile statewide in 2023-2024, though this also dropped to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. Per-student spending at Burnet ($10,288) is average for the area, and its student-teacher ratio (18.7) is similar to peers, indicating that the school’s challenges are more about instructional effectiveness than resources. For parents, this school offers potential but requires close attention to its ability to provide stable, consistent learning outcomes.
