Summary

Burlingame Intermediate is a highly-regarded public middle school serving about 1,115 students in grades 6-8 within the top-ranked Burlingame Elementary school district, consistently performing in the top 5-6% of all California middle schools for the past decade.

The school stands out for achieving these excellent academic results while serving a larger and more socioeconomically diverse student population than many neighboring schools, and doing so with efficient use of resources. For instance, while Crocker Middle in Hillsborough spends nearly twice as much per student, Burlingame Intermediate maintains comparable elite performance. The school also shows notable strength in bilingual education, with Spanish Language Arts proficiency rates significantly above the state average, and maintains strong student engagement with a chronic absenteeism rate nearly half the California average.

Performance is consistently strong across different student groups, and the school has shown remarkable stability through demographic shifts, including a recent increase in students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other local schools like Ralston Intermediate in Belmont or Taylor Middle in Millbrae, Burlingame Intermediate's ability to deliver top-tier outcomes at a larger scale and with fewer resources per student makes it a compelling and effective educational community.
