Elementary Schools in Burbank Unified

Summary:

Burbank Unified serves approximately 4,800 students across 11 elementary schools (grades K-5) in a district that ranks in the top 30% statewide, with all schools outperforming California averages in English, math, and science proficiency.

Among these schools, R. L. Stevenson Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 84th percentile with notably high science scores, followed closely by Theodore Roosevelt Elementary, which boasts the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate and strong academics. In contrast, George Washington Elementary has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking this year and now ranks lowest in the district, while Joaquin Miller Elementary has shown notable improvement.

Key findings for parents include a wide performance range between schools, with a 26-point difference in math proficiency, and a clear link between lower chronic absenteeism and higher achievement. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not always correlate with better results, and fifth-grade English scores are consistently the strongest subject area district-wide. The substantial variation in science proficiency between schools suggests differences in program focus or resources.
