Summary:
The area’s list contains one school, Burch Charter School of Excellence, an elementary school serving kindergarten through grade 5, with 335 students. Reported test results cover grades 3–5 in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Most important, mathematics results were low across all three tested grades in 2025–2026: the school averaged 18% proficient, compared with 47% statewide, a 29-point shortfall.
There are no other schools in the list to compare, so the standouts are differences among this school’s grades and subjects. English language arts (ELA) was relatively stronger: the 2025–2026 average was 36%, 18 points above the 18% math average. Fifth-grade ELA was the strongest result, at 45% compared with 52% statewide; third-grade ELA was lowest, at 27% compared with 48% statewide. Math was under 20% proficient in every tested grade—18% in third, 17% in fourth and 19% in fifth—while state results ranged from 46% to 49%. Fifth-grade science was 17%, 10 points below the state’s 27%.
Results moved in different directions over time: the ELA average rose from 23% in 2024–2025 to 36% in 2025–2026, while its average gap from the state narrowed from 27 points to 13. Math’s average gap widened from 22 points to 29. SchoolDigger’s school percentile rose from 13 to 19 over those years, with a one-star rating in both; the percentile was 16 in 2023–2024. As context, 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 17.6 to 1 that year; these figures describe the school and do not explain its test results. With only one school listed, there is no school-to-school ranking to make.
