Summary:
The Burlingame Elementary district is a high-performing public school system in California consisting of seven schools: six elementary schools (grades K-5) and one middle school (Burlingame Intermediate, grades 6-8), all of which significantly outperform state averages in academics.
Among the elementary schools, Hoover Elementary and Franklin Elementary stand out as top performers, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide, with Lincoln Elementary close behind. Washington Elementary and McKinley Elementary, while still strong, rank relatively lower within the district. The middle school maintains this excellence, ranking in the 94th percentile.
Key factors in the district's success include very low chronic absenteeism, with Lincoln having the best rate at 3.8%, and exceptional multilingual programs, as Spanish assessment scores far exceed state averages. Interestingly, higher per-student spending, such as at Roosevelt Elementary, does not directly correlate with higher rankings within the district, suggesting other factors like teaching quality and community support are significant drivers of student success.
