Summary

Burnet Elementary in Midland, TX, is a PK-6 campus within the Midland Independent School District (Isd) serving 587 students, where 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate significantly higher than nearby schools like Bush Elementary (66%) and Classical Academy - Permian Basin (34.9%). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past five years, currently placing in the 15th percentile with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This persistent low performance stands in stark contrast to schools just a few miles away, such as Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary (63rd percentile) and Bush Elementary (61st percentile), which achieve much higher results despite serving similar student populations.

A critical concern at Burnet is the dramatic drop in academic proficiency as students move from 4th to 6th grade, a pattern not seen at higher-performing nearby schools. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency was 43.5%, but 6th-grade math plummeted to just 14.9%, while at Bush Elementary, 6th-grade math (71.7%) actually exceeded 4th-grade scores (45%). This "6th grade cliff" suggests the school struggles to build on foundational skills as material becomes more complex. Additionally, the school has a high student-to-teacher ratio of 20:1, compared to 16.6:1 at Bush and 16.1:1 at Jones Elementary, which may limit individualized attention.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: Burnet's Special Education program ranked in the 52nd percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating, indicating effective targeted interventions for these students. The school also offers STAAR tests in Spanish, though results are inconsistent—3rd-grade math in Spanish (36.6%) outperformed the English version (21.3%), but 5th-grade math in Spanish had a 0% proficiency rate. Per-student spending at Burnet ($10,711) is in the middle of the district, suggesting that resource allocation and instructional strategies, rather than funding alone, are key areas for improvement in this high-poverty environment.
