Summary

Burgess Elementary in Wichita Falls, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 345 students within the Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd), and it faces significant challenges as a high-poverty school where over 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Burgess Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with its most recent state ranking at the 5th percentile. This underperformance is particularly striking when compared to nearby schools with similar levels of economic disadvantage. For example, in 3rd grade reading, only 16.67% of Burgess students were proficient, far below Southern Hills Elementary (33.33%) and Scotland Park Elementary (29.73%), both of which also serve high-poverty populations. The school does show a relative strength in upper elementary math, with 4th-grade math (38.6% proficient) and 5th-grade math (29.79% proficient) being its highest-scoring subjects in recent years. A notable anomaly occurred during the 2020-2021 school year when the school jumped to the 38th percentile, suggesting that strategies implemented during that time might offer a blueprint for improvement.

Despite having a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 and spending a significant $13,598 per student, these resources have not translated into academic gains. This is starkly illustrated by the contrast with Sheppard Afb Elementary, located just 2.2 miles away, which serves a very different demographic (only 18.59% free/reduced lunch) and ranks in the 90th percentile. The school's performance across nearly all student subgroups is critically low, with most ranking in the bottom 10% of the state, pointing to a systemic, school-wide challenge that requires a fundamental reassessment of its instructional model and support systems.
