Summary:
The Burrel Union Elementary district in Riverdale, CA, contains a single K-8 school, Burrel Elementary, which serves 94 students in a small, close-knit environment with a low student-teacher ratio.
Parents should know that Burrel Elementary shows a mixed academic picture with notable strengths and challenges. The school performs better than the state average in mathematics for both 3rd and 7th grades, which is a significant positive. However, overall performance in English Language Arts and especially in Science is well below state averages, with science proficiency being a critical area needing attention. The school has also seen its statewide ranking decline over the past few years.
On a very positive note, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate that is much better than the state average, indicating strong attendance practices and family engagement. With high per-student spending and a very low student-teacher ratio, the school has considerable resources. For families, this suggests an environment where students can receive individual attention, but the academic results indicate that the focus of those resources may need adjustment to improve outcomes in specific subjects and grade levels.
