Burrton Middle School/High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Burrton Middle School/High School is a small public school serving grades 7-12 in Burrton, Kansas, with a student population of just 89 students. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas high schools and earning a 0-3 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Academically, the school struggles, with only 17.24% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 13.79% proficient or better in mathematics, far below the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6% respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Andale High, Hesston High, and Sedgwick High consistently outperforming Burrton Middle School/High School across various metrics. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.12% to 52.38%, suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance.

The inconsistent and generally low performance of Burrton Middle School/High School compared to state and local averages indicates the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and strategies to support student success. While the school's small size and low Burrton district ranking may be contributing factors, the stark disparities in subgroup performance suggest the school must do more to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.
