Summary

Burlington Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 364 students in South Point, Ohio, part of the South Point Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 581st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 63rd percentile with 3 stars, its strongest showing in the available history. That is well above its district (37th percentile, 2 stars) and above same-district South Point Elementary School (52nd percentile). It also outperforms Rock Hill Elementary School (45th percentile) and Ironton Elementary School (32nd percentile), though it trails nearby Chesapeake Elementary School (98th percentile, 5 stars), Dawson-Bryant Elementary School (81st), Symmes Valley Elementary School (76th), and Fairland West Elementary School (71st). The school climbed from the 34th–47th percentile range in 2015–2021 to 57th–63rd from 2023–2026.

Academically, Burlington is above district and state averages overall, with clear strengths in English language arts and science. Third-grade ELA is 77.4% proficient, 8.9 points above the district and 14.0 points above the state; fourth-grade ELA is 70.2% and fourth-grade math 74.5%, both well above district and state; and fifth-grade science is 69.2%, ahead of both. The clearest weak spot is fifth-grade math at 56.4% proficient, below the district's 67.4% and the state's 59.1%, and lower than most nearby schools with a fifth grade, such as South Point at 75.5% and Rock Hill at 63.3%. Even so, that score has risen steadily from 24.4% four years earlier.

One of the most distinctive findings is the school's effectiveness with low-income students: the low socio-economic status subgroup ranks in the 86th percentile statewide with 4 stars, far above the school's overall 63rd percentile and up from the 75th percentile the prior year. Chronic absenteeism has improved each year, from 24.4% to 17.2%, and stays below the district's 18.5% rate — though Chesapeake (10.4%), Fairland West (8.9%), and South Point (11.6%) have lower rates. Burlington's student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is the highest among nearby schools, while per-student spending of $8,270 in 2018–2019 was mid-range.
