Summary

Burrville Elementary School is a District of Columbia Public Schools elementary school serving 232 students in grades PK through 5 in the 20019 ZIP code of Washington, DC — an area where most nearby elementary schools rank in the bottom third of the district.

In the 2025–2026 school year, Burrville ranked 60th out of 124 DC elementary schools (52nd percentile) and earned 3 stars, placing it in the upper half of district schools and well ahead of every nearby DCPS elementary, including Houston Elementary School (28th percentile), Thomas Elementary School (20th percentile), and Drew Elementary School (10th percentile). This represents a remarkable turnaround: just two years earlier, Burrville sat at the 10th percentile, and its English Language Arts proficiency nearly doubled in a single year to 31.1% — the highest among all nearby elementary schools, including area charters like Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom PCS - East End (28.2%) and DC Scholars PCS (24.1%). Burrville's 4th grade ELA proficiency of 52.4% tops the DCPS district average of 45.9%.

Mathematics is the school's biggest challenge. While 3rd graders posted a respectable 42.8% proficiency, that figure falls to 9.5% in 4th grade and 5.7% by 5th grade. Burrville also achieves its results efficiently, spending $29,860 per student — less than nearby Lorraine H. Whitlock Elementary School ($39,570) or Smothers Elementary School ($31,179) — while serving low-income students in the 80th percentile statewide. With momentum, strong ELA outcomes, and a clear focus needed on upper-grade math, Burrville is a rising school worth watching.
