Burnett Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Burnett Elementary School is a public elementary school in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 206 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burnett Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Douglas County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.9% of 3rd graders, 27.9% of 4th graders, and 22.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.1%, 36%, and 40% for Douglas County, respectively. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 15.8 students per teacher, but a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.8% to 93.56% in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools in the Douglas County district, such as Bright Star Elementary and Beulah Elementary, Burnett Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures. Despite an increase in spending per student, from $9,641 in 2016-2017 to $11,123 in 2018-2019, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying issues at the school.
