Summary

Burbank Elementary is a K–5 school serving 538 students in Long Beach, California, and is part of Long Beach Unified. It is one of 11 nearby K–5 schools included in the comparisons. The most important finding is that Burbank’s latest proficiency results are below both state and district results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, following declines from recent highs.

Compared with nearby schools, Burbank is around the middle: it ranks sixth of 11 in ELA and science, and fifth in math. Its math result is closest to state and district benchmarks: 33% proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district. Science is the largest concern: 22% proficient, versus 36% statewide and 31% in the district. Burbank is also below nearby-school averages in all three subjects—by about 4 percentage points in ELA, math, and science. There is a bright spot by grade: fifth-grade ELA proficiency was 48%, just 1 point below the state’s 49% for that grade.

Results have weakened since 2023–2024: ELA fell from 48% to 39%, and science from 30% to 22%; math also dipped from its 2024–2025 high of 36% to 33%. SchoolDigger ranks Burbank at the 39th percentile statewide with 2 stars for 2025–2026, down from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s relative ranking for how well the school serves African American students is notably higher: the group ranked at the 96th percentile, compared with 39th overall. Its Hispanic Students ranking fell from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 33rd in 2025–2026. For context, 81.8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 26.2 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 25.2.
