Summary:
Zip code 66413 includes two public schools in Burlingame Public School: Burlingame Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, and Burlingame Junior/Senior High, serving grades 6–12. Their enrollments are 142 and 151 students. In 2025–26, both schools were below Kansas averages in all-grade English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest area-wide concern is math: the schools’ average was 26%, 15 percentage points below the state’s 41%.
The schools trade leads by subject: Junior/Senior High had the stronger all-grade ELA result, 40% versus Elementary’s 31%, and science result, 35% versus 28%; Elementary narrowly led in math, 28% to 25%. Junior/Senior High was closest to the state in science, 3 points below, while Elementary’s largest all-grade gaps were in ELA and science, at 15 and 10 points below state. Grade-level results show a sharper contrast: Junior/Senior High sixth-grade ELA reached 64%, 22 points above the state, while its seventh-grade ELA was 24%, 20 points below. Elementary’s fifth-grade ELA was 22%, 29 points below the state. Elementary was below state in every listed grade and subject; Junior/Senior High also exceeded state results in eighth- and tenth-grade ELA and eleventh-grade science.
Recent trends differ by school. Junior/Senior High ELA rose 10 points in one year, while math gained only 1 point and science slipped 1 point. Elementary math fell 10 points and science fell 27 points; its ELA was nearly flat. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentile for Junior/Senior High rose 13 points in the latest year, to 40, while Elementary’s fell 24 points, to 14. Student-teacher ratios are similar, at 11.4 and 11.7, as are free/reduced-lunch rates, at 44% and 48%. Chronic absenteeism differs more: 24% at Junior/Senior High versus 13% at Elementary, compared with 18% statewide. Junior/Senior High’s reported graduation rate was 100%, versus 90% statewide. Because the schools serve different grade spans and grade-level cohorts are small, those comparisons are best read as context.
