Summary

Burns Avenue School is an elementary school in Hicksville, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Hicksville Union Free School District.

The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with 4th and 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, while 3rd-grade students underperformed. Burns Avenue School's 5th-grade Science performance was also strong, exceeding the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population includes significant representation of Asian and Hispanic students, and the performance of certain subgroups, such as Asian and low socioeconomic status students, has been particularly strong.

Compared to nearby schools, Fork Lane School and Woodland Avenue School generally perform worse than Burns Avenue School, while Cantiague Elementary School and Lee Avenue School outperform Burns Avenue School in both academic assessments and overall school rankings. The school's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years, and continued investment in resources, such as per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, may contribute to its ongoing academic success.
