Summary

Burlington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Burlington, Colorado, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 332 students. The school is part of the Burlington Public School District No. Re-6j, which is ranked 108 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The analysis of Burlington Elementary School reveals several areas of concern. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 22.0% in 2022-2023 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.5%) and Math (23.2%) in 2024-2025 being significantly lower than the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.31% in 2021-2022 to 62.05% in 2023-2024, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 547 out of 965 Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 666 out of 950 in 2024-2025. The data also shows a gender-based achievement gap, with male students generally outperforming their female counterparts in both English Language Arts and Math. When compared to the nearby Stratton Elementary School, which is located approximately 18 miles away, Burlington Elementary School appears to have weaker academic performance, with lower proficiency rates in both subjects. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning could be key strategies for improving the school's performance.
