Burnet Elementary

Burnet Elementary sits in Odessa, a West Texas oil town where the Permian Basin economy keeps things moving and community pride runs deep — but like many schools in the area, it faces real academic challenges, with scores sitting in the lower range statewide across English, math, and science. Families in this part of Odessa tend to be working-class and tightly knit, and the school reflects that blue-collar, roll-up-your-sleeves spirit. Parents looking for a stronger academic fit may want to explore other options within Ector County ISD, where some campuses show notably higher performance.
