Summary

Burlingame Elementary serves pre-K through grade 5 in Burlingame, Kansas, and enrolls 142 students—the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools compared. In 2025–26, students’ proficiency rates were 31% in ELA, 28% in math, and 28% in science, all below state rates of 46%, 41%, and 38%. The most important finding is that academic results are weak across all three subjects, with the school near the bottom of its nearby group.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot, but it remains well below most nearby schools: its 28% proficiency rate was 1 percentage point above the rate for the Burlingame Public School district, while ELA and science were each about 5 points below the district. Compared with nearby-school averages, Burlingame was 18 points lower in ELA, 16 lower in math, and 21 lower in science. Its ELA and science scores were the second-lowest among nearby schools with results, and math was the third-lowest. Grade-level results reveal sharper concerns: grade 4 math was 18%, 26 points below the state rate and lower than every nearby school reporting that grade; grade 5 ELA was 22%, the lowest among nearby schools reporting grade 5.

Results have fluctuated and ended below their 2022–23 levels: ELA fell 3 points overall, math 14 points, and science 37 points, with especially steep recent declines in math and science. SchoolDigger ranks the school 566th of 657, in the 14th percentile, with 1 star. Its statewide ranking for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 95th percentile in 2022–23 to the 8th percentile in 2025–26, a notable drop compared with its overall ranking, which moved from the 55th to the 14th percentile over those years. Contextual measures are more favorable: the 11.7 student-teacher ratio is below the nearby average of 13.1, and chronic absenteeism is 13%, below district and state rates of 19% and 18%. The free/reduced-lunch rate is 48%, compared with a nearby average of 44%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
