Summary

Academy At Nola Dunn is a high-performing elementary school in Burleson, TX, serving 668 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Burleson Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence, holding a 4-star rating for the past decade and ranking in the 84th percentile among all Texas elementary schools. It is the top-ranked school in its immediate area, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Jack Taylor Elementary (43rd percentile) and Norwood Elementary (35th percentile). A key differentiator is the school's exceptionally low rate of economic disadvantage, with only 14.82% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This contrasts sharply with neighboring schools, such as Mound Elementary (52.14%) and Ann Brock Elementary At Oak Grove (55.93%). The school achieves these top-tier results with a lean budget of $8,131 per student, the lowest in its comparison group.

Academy At Nola Dunn consistently posts the highest proficiency rates in the district for core subjects, with 5th graders excelling in Reading (79.05%), Math (74.29%), and Science (46.15%)—all well above district and state averages. However, the school shows a critical vulnerability in supporting its small population of economically disadvantaged students, whose performance dropped to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026. In contrast, the school has demonstrated outstanding results for its African American students, who ranked in the 98th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. The school's 5th-grade program appears particularly strong, preparing students well for the transition to middle school.
