Summary

Burnett Elementary in Houston, TX, is a PK-4 school in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd) serving 534 students in a predominantly low-income community, with 87% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The most remarkable thing about Burnett is its dramatic, data-proven turnaround: after years of struggling in the bottom 28th percentile statewide, the school jumped to the 52nd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 3-star rating. This leap of 24 percentile points is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Moore Elementary and South Belt Elementary, which have been consistently high-performing (3-4 stars), and Genoa Elementary, which remains in the bottom 16th percentile despite serving a similar student population.

Burnett now excels in serving specific student groups, outperforming the state and district for low-income students (73rd percentile), gifted and talented students (80th percentile), and special education students (63rd percentile). The school’s bilingual program is a standout strength, with Spanish-language STAAR scores far exceeding state averages—for example, 3rd-grade math in Spanish had a 57.89% proficiency rate versus 27.95% statewide. This success is supported by high per-pupil spending of $13,422 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1, which are significantly better than higher-performing peers like Arlyne & Alan Weber Elementary (which spends less and has larger classes).

The improvement is broad-based, with test scores rising sharply across subjects—3rd-grade math proficiency jumped from 20.55% to 46.32% in one year. While Burnett still faces challenges compared to schools with lower poverty rates, its exceptional work with low-income students (73rd percentile) shows it is closing the gap. The key question is whether this momentum can be sustained, but for now, Burnett is a school that has proven it can transform outcomes for its community.
