Summary

J F Burns Elementary School is a K–4 school in Kings Mills, Ohio, serving 807 students as part of the Kings Local district — the largest of the district's three K–4 elementaries, ahead of Kings Mills Elementary School (567 students) and South Lebanon Elementary School (523). In 2025–2026 it ranked 350th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (78th percentile, 4 stars), while the district ranked 116th of 773 (85th percentile, 4 stars). Proficiency was above the state in every tested subject and grade: grade 3 math 75.6% (state 62.1%), grade 4 math 86.3% (67.3%), grade 3 English Language Arts 80.4% (63.4%), and grade 4 ELA 73.4% (61.8%).

Grade 4 math is a standout: 86.3% proficiency is competitive with Mason Intermediate Elementary School (88.5%), South Lebanon Elementary School (88.4%), Loveland Elementary School (85.9%), and Kings Mills Elementary School (84.0%). Grade 4 ELA is the relative weak spot at 73.4%, below all of those schools as well as Symmes Elementary School (86.3%). Grade 3 math also fell sharply, from 86% in 2024–2025 to 75.6% in 2025–2026 — a 10.4-point drop — though still well above the state. Overall, the school's percentile rank has eased from 93rd in 2017–2018 to the 78th–81st range today.

Chronic absenteeism is a strength at 11.3%, lower than the district's 15.1% and below South Lebanon (16.1%) and Loveland Elementary (12.6%), though Symmes (4.7%) and Mason Intermediate (7.0%) do better. The free/reduced lunch rate rose from 16.13% in 2022–2023 to 26.89% in 2024–2025. Per-student spending was $9,330 in 2018–2019 — the lowest among nearby schools — yet achievement stays above state averages, and the 20.4 student–teacher ratio is moderate locally. Subgroup results are strong for special education students (86th percentile) and English Language Learners (83rd), while low-income students ranked 68th, below the school overall.
