Burlington-Edison School District

Summary:

The Burlington-Edison School District in Washington serves about 2,825 students across seven schools, including five K-8 elementary schools and two high schools, but faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of state districts.

Performance varies dramatically between schools. Edison Elementary is a clear standout, outperforming district and state averages in all subjects and ranking in the 78th percentile statewide. In contrast, Lucille Umbarger Elementary and Allen Elementary are in urgent need of support, ranking in the bottom 10th percentile. Burlington Edison High School shows promising improvement, with a graduation rate above the state average and particular strength in science.

Key takeaways include a district-wide weakness in math, while science is a relative strength. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results, as the top-performing elementary school spends the least. The high school's positive trajectory offers hope, but the extreme performance gap between elementary schools indicates that a student's experience in this district depends heavily on which specific school they attend.
