Summary

Burnley-Moran Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Charlottesville, Virginia, part of the Charlottesville City Public Schools district. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past few years, moving from the bottom 25% of Virginia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the top 20% in 2024-2025.

Burnley-Moran Elementary consistently outperforms the Charlottesville City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in standardized test scores, with 89.09% of 3rd graders and 85.45% of 4th graders proficient or better in SOL Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 67.16% and 62.88% for the district, respectively. The school also had 83.64% of 3rd graders and 83.33% of 4th graders proficient or better in SOL English Reading, compared to 69.78% and 69.58% for the district. However, the school faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9.6% to 26.1% over the past few years.

While Burnley-Moran Elementary outperforms the Charlottesville City Public Schools district, the nearby schools in the Albemarle County Public Schools district generally have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as district-level policies and community demographics, may play a role in a school's performance.

We had two children at Burnley-Moran, during the years 2000-2003 and 2004-2008.

Both our children learned a lot at BME and liked it too! Close Quote
