Summary

Burlington Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Longmont, CO, serving 320 students in the St. Vrain Valley School District — a district ranked in the top 20% of Colorado districts. Burlington's own ranking is more modest: 45th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating. Proficiency rates run below both district and state averages in ELA (39.8% vs. 51% and 44.7%), Math (35.5% vs. 46.9% and 37.3%), and 5th-grade Science (31.1% vs. 43.6% and 36.1%).

Within the local school landscape, Burlington is the middle ground. Its free/reduced lunch rate (61.25%) is close to the average of ten nearby St. Vrain schools, and its test scores sit slightly above that group's average. Burlington outperforms higher-poverty neighbors like Timberline Pk-8, Northridge Elementary School, Rocky Mountain Elementary School, and Columbine Elementary School — all with poverty rates above 75% and proficiency in the teens or 20s — while lagging behind lower-poverty schools like Central Elementary School, Flagstaff Charter Academy, and Eagle Crest Elementary School. One bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 31.4% in 2023–24 to 22.7% in 2024–25, better than both the district (23.1%) and state (28.4%) — an improvement that came even as poverty jumped by 13 points. Burlington's student-teacher ratio (15.3) is higher than most nearby schools.

The most urgent concern is an equity gap the overall rank masks. Burlington's low-income students ranked in the 7th percentile statewide in 2025–26, down sharply from the 40th percentile in 2022–23. Male students (26th percentile) and white students (22nd percentile) also rank well below the school's overall standing. Grade-level results show 5th graders are strongest (44.4% ELA, 40% Math), while 4th-grade math is the low point (29.7% proficient). For parents, Burlington looks like a stable, average school facing rising poverty — with improved attendance as a genuine strength and low-income student outcomes as the clear challenge.
