Burnet Elementary

Burnet Elementary sits in Midland, a West Texas oil town where the economy runs hot and the community takes real pride in its schools — but Burnet's academic numbers suggest families in this zip code may want to look closely before assuming neighborhood convenience is enough. With scores clustering in the lower range across English, math, and science, it may be a better fit for families who are prepared to supplement at home or get involved in the classroom. That said, Midland itself offers a tight-knit, working-class-to-middle-class feel with affordable housing and a strong sense of local identity, so families who prioritize community roots and are willing to advocate for their kids could still find a home here.
