Summary:

This analysis examines two elementary schools in the 91504 zip code of Burbank, California, both serving grades K-5 within the Burbank Unified district, which is a highly-rated system outperforming state averages.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 79th percentile statewide for 2024-2025. It demonstrates significantly stronger proficiency rates in English and math compared to George Washington Elementary, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 57th percentile. Notably, Thomas Jefferson achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio but benefits from a much lower rate of chronic student absenteeism.

The schools serve different student populations, with George Washington having a substantially higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite receiving more funding per student and having smaller classes, George Washington faces academic challenges, particularly in early-grade mathematics. Both schools, however, perform above state averages in science. For parents, this area offers a strong district with clear performance differences between the two schools, where Thomas Jefferson shows stronger overall academic outcomes and student attendance.
