Summary:
ZIP code 91506 has eight Burbank Unified schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and four high schools. Seven schools have reported 2025–2026 all-grades results; Magnolia Park’s results are suppressed. Across those seven schools, average proficiency was 47% in ELA, 36% in math and 35% in science, each slightly below the state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply between schools, with reported school-to-school ranges of 59 percentage points in ELA, 62 in math and 43 in science.
Burroughs High, Walt Disney Elementary and Thomas Edison Elementary lead in different subjects. Burroughs had the highest reported all-grades ELA result at 68%, 18 points above the state; Disney led math at 62%, 23 points above the state; and Edison led science at 53%, 17 points above the state. At the lower end, Monterey High had 9% ELA, 2% math and 11% science, while Burbank Unified Independent Learning Academy (BUILA) had 29% ELA, 0% math and 14% science. For a more direct high-school comparison, Burroughs also led schools with reported results in all three 11th-grade subjects.
Recent changes are mixed rather than uniformly upward: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the seven-school average fell 2 percentage points in ELA, rose 3 in math and rose 1 in science. Math’s gap with the state narrowed from 4 points to 2 below, while ELA shifted from roughly level to 2 points below and science from 1 point above to 1 below. Disney improved in all three subjects, including 11 points in math, while Burroughs’ ELA result fell 10 points. Separately, SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose 11 points for William McKinley Elementary and fell 15 for BUILA; these are ranking changes, not test-score changes. As context, the schools reported free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–2025, from 23% at Edison to 53% at Monterey; this measure describes school context, not a cause of results.
