Summary:

The Burton Elementary area includes six schools: four elementary schools, one middle school and one K–12 alternative school, with 4,804 students in total. Across the schools, the unweighted average proficiency is 38% in English language arts (ELA), 28% in math and 25% in science—about 11 points below the state in each subject. The most important takeaway is that results vary substantially from school to school, while the area-wide averages trail the state across all three subjects.

Summit Charter Academy leads all-grades results in every subject, with 51% in ELA, 34% in math and 38% in science; those results are 15, 8 and 15 points above the other five schools’ respective averages. Summit is about 2 points above the state in ELA and science, but 4 points below in math. At the other end, Jim Maples Academy has the lowest results: 30% in ELA, 18% in math and 15% in science, or 19–21 points below the state depending on the subject. Among the four elementary schools, Oak Grove Elementary stands out in math and science, at 30% and 33%; its 37% ELA result is second to William R. Buckley Elementary, at 38%.

Recent trends are mixed, but the six-school average moved farther from the state in all three subjects: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, it fell 1 point in ELA and 2 in math, and rose 3 in science; the gaps to the state widened by 1, 3 and 1 points, respectively. Oak Grove’s science result rose 12 points, the largest increase, while Jim Maples’ fell 9. SchoolDigger percentile rankings also declined from their earliest to latest available year at each of the five schools with a history, by 3–6 points; Summit has no ranking history in the supplied data. Class sizes and income measures do not neatly sort the results: ratios range from 20.5 students per teacher at Burton Middle to 25.7 at Burton Elementary, while all six report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25. Those shares range from 73% at Summit to 89% at Jim Maples; Oak Grove reports 87% while leading the elementary schools in math and science.
