Summary

Burton Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 344 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District.

Burton Hill Elementary stands out as a strong-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, 63.64% of 3rd graders at Burton Hill were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 40.56% for Fort Worth ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school's performance has also been improving, with its statewide ranking rising from 840 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,652 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. Burton Hill Elementary has particularly strong performance among its African American and At-Risk student subgroups, ranking in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years.

While Burton Hill Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools within the same district, such as North High Mount Elementary and Como Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in reading. However, Burton Hill still ranks higher than these schools in the statewide rankings, suggesting it is one of the stronger-performing schools in the immediate area. The school's success may be attributed to its relatively high per-student spending of around $13,000-$14,000 and low student-teacher ratio of around 11:1, which are higher and lower, respectively, than the nearby schools in the analysis.
