Summary

Burbank High School is a public magnet charter high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,314 students. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 790 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burbank High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,336 and 1,925 out of around 1,900 high schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.84% in Algebra I to 39.44% in U.S. History. Burbank High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.3% and 93.5% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the state average, and the school's dropout rate has also been higher than the district and state, ranging from 1.5% to 4.2% in recent years.

While Brackenridge High School and Lanier High School, two other high schools within the SAISD district, have higher proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams and better graduation and dropout rates, Burbank High School's per-student spending is comparable to these nearby schools. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has been higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 14.2 to 15.5 students per teacher, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.
