Summary

Bill Burden Elementary is a mid-sized school in the highly-rated Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), serving 764 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in Liberty Hill, TX, with a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and a moderately affluent population where about 22% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

While Bill Burden has historically been a strong performer, earning a peak 5-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year, recent data shows a notable decline. The school’s overall state ranking has dropped to the 73rd percentile, its lowest point in five years, and it is now underperforming compared to its in-district peers. For example, Rancho Sienna Elementary and Bar W Elementary have maintained stable rankings in the 87th-91st percentile range. A key area of concern is 3rd-grade mathematics, where Bill Burden’s proficiency rate (50.37%) is the lowest among all Liberty Hill ISD elementary schools and below the district average. Additionally, the school’s effectiveness with its largest student groups has declined sharply, with rankings for White students falling from the 67th to the 47th percentile and for Hispanic students from the 66th to the 55th percentile in the most recent year.

Despite these challenges, Bill Burden continues to excel in specific areas. Its Gifted and Talented program remains a strong point, consistently ranking in the 71st-73rd percentile, and the school serves its Asian student population exceptionally well, ranking in the 75th percentile. Interestingly, Liberty Hill Elementary, located just 2.18 miles away and serving a more economically disadvantaged population (29.76% free/reduced lunch), has achieved a similar overall ranking (71st percentile), suggesting Bill Burden may be underperforming relative to its potential. The school’s per-student spending ($9,110) is in the middle of the district, but its return on investment appears lower than that of Rancho Sienna or Bar W, which achieve higher rankings with similar or lower spending levels. The most urgent areas for intervention are early-grade mathematics and support systems for students from low socio-economic backgrounds to reverse the current downward trend.
