Similarly, Burgess Elementary lags behind district and state averages in STAAR proficiency, with the highest being 35.71% in 5th grade Mathematics and the lowest being 8.93% in 5th grade Science.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' academic challenges, as both have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 79.49% for Hirschi High School and 92.89% for Burgess Elementary. Additionally, the racial demographics of the schools, with Hirschi High School having a higher percentage of minority students (78.61%) compared to Burgess Elementary (70.75%), may raise questions about equity in educational opportunities and outcomes.
