Elementary Schools in Burr Oak Community School District

Summary:

The Burr Oak Community School District in Michigan has only one elementary school, Burr Oak Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools and performing significantly below state averages in key subject areas.

Burr Oak Elementary School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are all well below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 6th-grade proficiency rate in M-Step/English Language Arts was 31.3%, compared to the state average of 38.6%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.42% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,643 and a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average, Burr Oak Elementary School continues to face significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to support student learning and success.
