Summary

Burnet High School is a mid-sized high school in Burnet, TX, serving 946 students in grades 9-12 within the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas school districts. The school has shown moderate fluctuation in state rankings over the past decade, currently sitting at the 47th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, a slight dip from a peak of the 58th percentile (3 stars) the previous year. A majority of students (56.45%) are economically disadvantaged, which provides important context for understanding the school's overall performance.

Burnet High School's strongest academic differentiator is its English Language Arts (ELA) performance, where proficiency rates in English I and English II (56% and 65.79%, respectively) not only exceed state averages but also outperform nearby Lampasas High School and Marble Falls High School. However, this strength is contrasted by a significant weakness in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have been consistently below the state average for four years (e.g., 27.31% vs. 54.03% in 2025-2026). This math challenge is common among local peers—Marble Falls is even lower—but stands in stark contrast to the high-performing Liberty Hill High School, which excels in Algebra I. The school also maintains a very high graduation rate (consistently above 95%) and a low dropout rate (0.6% in 2023-2024), on par with Liberty Hill and better than Marble Falls.

An interesting finding is the school's spending of approximately $10,800 per student, which is less than Lampasas and Marble Falls but more than Liberty Hill ($8,310), suggesting that spending alone doesn't drive outcomes—socioeconomic factors play a major role. The data also reveals that smaller schools like Quest High School (Burnet ISD) and Falls Career High School (Marble Falls ISD) have very low rankings and high per-student spending, likely serving as alternative or disciplinary campuses. Overall, Burnet High School is a solid, average-performing school that excels in English instruction and student retention but faces challenges in mathematics, particularly Algebra I, with its performance heavily influenced by a high rate of economic disadvantage among its students.
