Burnett Elementary

Burnett Elementary sits in the southeastern Houston zip code of 77089, a sprawling suburban pocket where families tend to put down roots for the long haul. The school's academics are a work in progress, with math showing a bit more strength than English, and families who get involved early — supplementing at home and staying connected with teachers — tend to get the most out of what the school offers. It's the kind of neighborhood where community ties run deep, so parents who are looking to be hands-on partners in their child's education will likely find a welcoming environment here.
