Summary:
The Burnt Ranch area in this dataset has one school, Burnt Ranch Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade, with 85 students. With no other listed schools, families can compare its results with California overall, but not with local peers. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 67% in English language arts (ELA), 64% in math and 50% in science, versus 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The most important finding is that the school was above state results in all three subjects, with its largest lead in math at 25 percentage points.
There is no within-area top or bottom school to identify; among the available results, math is the clearest strength. Its all-grades advantage over California was 25 points, compared with 18 points in ELA and 14 points in science. Fifth-grade results were also above the state: by 6 points in math, about 1 point in ELA and less than 1 point in science. These figures show stronger state-relative results in math, both overall and in the available grade-level comparison.
Results changed differently by subject between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: ELA fell 6 percentage points, math was nearly unchanged, and science rose 10 points. The school’s lead over the state narrowed by 7 points in ELA and 1 point in math, while widening by 7 points in science. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and a 62nd-percentile ranking for 2025–2026, down from 4 stars and the 90th percentile in 2023–2024. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 17:1 in 2024–2025, and 75% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California also reports that all students receive free school meals through its statewide policy. The reported 2025–2026 chronic-absenteeism rate was 0%, compared with 18% statewide.
