Summary

Chet Burchett Elementary is a public elementary school in Spring, Texas, serving 875 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 807 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chet Burchett Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with projected proficiency rates in reading and math around 30% and 25%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52% and 45%. The school's dropout rates have also been steadily increasing, rising from 2.2% in 2019-2020 to 3.8% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Chet Burchett Elementary has a very high percentage of students (around 84%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools within the Spring ISD also perform poorly on academic measures and have similar demographic profiles, the Sam Houston State University Charter School, which is also located near Chet Burchett Elementary, significantly outperforms the district and state averages. Additionally, the Broadway Elementary school, which is part of the Conroe ISD, performs much better than Chet Burchett Elementary, despite serving a more economically diverse student population. However, Chet Burchett Elementary's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a relative strength, with the school ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for this student subgroup in recent years.

This is by far the most disorganized and low educated bunch of teachers and staff members I have ever dealth with. If you have any other options DO NOT send your children to this school. I am very concerned that my child is getting minimal if any valuable learning skills here. Close Quote
