Summary

Burgin Elementary in Arlington, TX, serves 561 students in grades PK-6 within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), and while it has historically ranked in the bottom 20th percentile statewide, it shows notable strengths in specific areas that set it apart from nearby schools. Over 90% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, with per-student spending competitive for the area. Despite overall low performance, Burgin has some bright spots that parents should know about.

One standout is Burgin’s 6th-grade math program, where proficiency reached 47.62% in the most recent testing year—significantly higher than the district average of 38.15% and the state average of 38.57%. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby Williams Elementary, which generally outperforms Burgin but had only 23.94% proficiency in 6th-grade math. Additionally, Burgin’s Spanish-language (STAAR Spanish) assessments are a major differentiator, with 4th-grade reading proficiency at 66.67% (vs. 28.25% district) and 5th-grade math at 42.86% (vs. 16.88% district), suggesting highly effective bilingual or ESL programs. However, a critical weakness is 5th-grade science, where only 1.61% of students were proficient in the English-administered test—the lowest among nearby schools like Foster Elementary and Morton Elementary.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Morton Elementary (0.27 miles away), Burgin performs notably better, especially in 6th-grade math (47.62% vs. 12.24%) and 4th-grade reading (31.03% vs. 28.57%). Subgroup data reveals that Burgin serves its Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds relatively well (ranking in the 40th and 35th percentiles, respectively), while struggling more with White and Special Education students. The nearby Newman International Academy Of Arlington, which serves a different demographic (47.51% free/reduced lunch), consistently outperforms Burgin, highlighting the strong link between economic factors and academic outcomes in this area.
