Summary

Luther Burbank Elementary School serves 453 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Burbank, Illinois. In 2025–26, 47% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 31% in math. The clearest concern is fourth grade: proficiency fell sharply from third grade, especially in math, where just 17% of fourth graders were proficient, compared with 42% statewide.

Third grade is a bright spot: 57% were proficient in ELA and 54% in math, both above district and state results. Across all grades, math is the school’s stronger subject relative to its district: 31% proficiency was 1 percentage point above the district, though 9 points below the state and below the nearby-school average of 37%. ELA proficiency was 47%, 1 point below the district, 10 points below the state, and below the nearby average of 55%. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 34%, also below the district’s 37% and state’s 48%. Overall, results are below the nearby averages, with ELA particularly weak in that comparison.

Over two years, ELA proficiency rose from 28% to 47%, and math from 21% to 31%, but both slipped in the latest year—by 2 points in ELA and 3 in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 31st statewide percentile and awarded it 2 stars in 2025–26, down from the 45th percentile the previous year. Context includes a 13.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 66% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch that year, close to nearby averages. SchoolDigger’s statewide measures suggest stronger results in serving English Language Learner Students (52nd percentile) and Low Socio Economic Status Students (51st) than the school’s overall 31st percentile.
