Summary

Burton Elementary School is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 452 students in Vancouver, WA, operating within the Evergreen School District (Clark).

The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of Washington state schools, with current proficiency rates in English and math well below both district and state averages. It serves a population with a high level of economic need, though this has decreased in recent years. Notably, a nearby school, Endeavour Elementary School, achieves much stronger academic results while serving a student body with an even higher poverty rate, demonstrating that improvement is possible within the same community and district context.

Despite overall struggles, Burton shows relative strengths in 5th-grade English and science, outperforming the district average in these specific areas. The school's historical data also indicates it has previously been effective with certain student groups, such as English Language Learners. While per-student spending is comparable to some higher-performing schools like Emerald Elementary School and Harmony Elementary School, its student-teacher ratio is less favorable, raising questions about how resources are allocated to support classroom instruction and student outcomes.
