Summary

Burton Elementary School is a public school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 452 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the Evergreen School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 58.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Burton’s statewide ranking has improved substantially, reaching the 19th percentile in 2025–2026 after several years in the single digits, but it remains below most nearby schools.

Recent academic results show both progress and continuing challenges. Burton’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 34.19% in English language arts, 29.06% in math, and 33.33% in science—below both district and Washington averages. ELA and math have improved steadily since 2022–2023, while science has been more inconsistent. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: only 19.44% of fifth graders were proficient in math and 29.17% in ELA. Burton’s overall results are stronger than Crestline Elementary School in all three subjects and ahead of Hearthwood Elementary School in ELA and math, but it trails higher-performing schools such as Endeavour Elementary School, Emerald Elementary School, and Harmony Elementary School.

Burton’s student-teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–2025, among the highest in the comparison group, and up from 12.2 two years earlier. Per-student spending was $19,528, below several nearby schools. These staffing and resource measures may be important considerations for families evaluating the availability of individualized support. Overall, Burton appears to be moving in a positive direction, especially in ELA and math, but sustained improvement will likely depend on strengthening fifth-grade mathematics, science instruction, and support for students across grade levels.
