In contrast, Reavis High School, the only high school in the district, has a 86.9% four-year graduation rate and a 2.2% dropout rate, both better than the district and state averages, but its test scores in math and English language arts are still below state levels.
Across the district, there are stark differences in performance, with some schools like Maddock Elementary having smaller class sizes and potentially more personalized learning, while others like Harry E Fry School have larger class sizes. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 61.53% at Reavis High to 74.89% at J B Kennedy Elementary, indicate that many students in Burbank come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, presenting additional challenges for the district.
