Elementary Schools in Burlington Area School District

Summary:

The Burlington Area School District in Wisconsin is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools include Dyer Elementary, Waller Elementary, Cooper Montessori, Lyons Center Elementary, and Winkler Elementary.

Among the standout schools in the district, Cooper Montessori and Winkler Elementary consistently rank among the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Cooper Montessori excels in English Language Arts and Social Studies, while Winkler Elementary impresses in Mathematics and Science. Both schools also benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios compared to the other schools in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a wide range in the percentage of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch, from 19.7% at Cooper Montessori to 44.58% at Waller Elementary, which may contribute to the variation in academic performance observed across the district.
