Middleton-Burney Elementary School is a large school with 1,056 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21.6:1.

The brightest spot is 6th Grade English Language Arts, where 59% of students are proficient, close to the state average of 62%.
A critical concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 52.4%, which is nearly 21 percentage points higher than the state average of 31.4%. While the school spends $10,253 per student, this investment is not translating into high academic outcomes. There is a positive trend in upper grades, with proficiency rising from 29% in 3rd grade math to 48% in 6th grade math, and from 31% in 3rd grade ELA to 59% in 6th grade ELA. However, year-over-year data shows some volatility, such as a drop in 4th Grade ELA proficiency from 44% to 33% between school years. Overall, the school faces significant challenges with low academic performance and high absenteeism that require strategic attention.
