Summary

Burlington Edison High School is a public high school serving about 1,050 students in grades 9-12 in Burlington, WA, as part of the Burlington-Edison School District, and it stands out for its recent, significant improvement in statewide ranking.

The school is on a strong upward trend, moving from the 31st to the 51st percentile over the last two years, which is the most consistent improvement among nearby schools like Sedro Woolley Senior High School and Mount Vernon High School, which have seen declines. Key strengths include exceptional science proficiency, which is the highest among these comparison schools and beats the state average, and consistently solid graduation rates. The school also shows effective support for specific groups, including English Language Learners and female students.

Areas for attention include math proficiency, which is below the state average, and support for special education students. While the graduation rate is strong, the school's dropout rate has increased and is now slightly above the state average. Despite these challenges, Burlington Edison High School's recent recovery and efficient use of resources, achieving middle-tier performance in a lower-ranked district, are promising signs for its continued trajectory.
