Summary

Robert J. Burch Elementary School in Tyrone, GA, serves approximately 528 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly regarded Fayette County School District, which ranks in the top 6% of districts statewide. The school itself holds a solid 4-star rating, placing it in the 73rd percentile of Georgia elementary schools—a position it has maintained consistently for a decade, never dipping below the 70th percentile. This stability is a real strength, especially in an era of post-pandemic fluctuations, and it suggests a dependable, well-run school that delivers predictable results year after year.

One of the most impressive findings is the school's exceptional performance with African American students, where it ranks in the top 7% of all Georgia schools serving this subgroup—a 5-star rating that far exceeds its overall ranking. This indicates the school is effectively closing achievement gaps in ways few others in the region accomplish. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 17.3% to 14.0% over three years, a 19% relative improvement, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 is more favorable than nearby Kedron Elementary (15.6:1) and North Fayette Elementary (14.0:1). Per-student spending has also risen 16% over four years to $15,471, outpacing several comparable Fayette County schools.

While math proficiency is strongest in 4th grade (66.3%) and weakest in 5th grade (46.7%), this pattern isn't consistent historically, suggesting cohort-specific challenges rather than a systemic issue. However, 5th grade science has declined notably—from 65.6% to 51.0% over two years—and now sits 17 points below the district average, though still above the state average. In context, the school serves a population where 53.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, far higher than the Peachtree City cluster (18-21%), yet it still outperforms the state average in every subject. The contrast with nearby Fulton County schools like Campbell Elementary and Oakley Elementary—which serve 100% free/reduced lunch populations and post proficiency rates 20-40 points lower—highlights how effectively Robert J. Burch overperforms its demographics, making it a strong, dependable choice for families.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 17, 2016

My son and I really enjoy Robert J. Burch Elementary School. I was initially concerned about our rankings when compared to other Fayette County Schools. Then I realized three things: 1) the teachers are exceptional at Burch; 2) my son enjoys learning; and 3) Robert J. Burch has the largest population of students (more than any in the county and above average for the State of Georgia) who hold English as their second language. Even with this makeup, the test scores continue to hold steady, and the teachers and parents ensure that everyone does their best socially and excel academically. This makes for a future great, educated, responsible adult in America. Close Quote
