About Burlington HS
Burlington High School earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating that places it third among all 455 Oklahoma high schools and ninth among all 1,747 public schools statewide. For a school of just 33 students, that standing is remarkable. The numbers behind that rank are strong across every dimension.
Academic performance scores 9.5 out of 10. Growth — how much students advance year over year — scores 9.9 out of 10, near the ceiling of the scale. A student-teacher ratio of 6.6 to 1 means every student receives direct, individual attention that most high schools simply cannot provide.
Burlington HS is a regular public school serving grades 9 through 12. Its small enrollment is not a limitation — it drives the conditions that produce results. The school's growth score in particular signals that students make measurable academic progress from the moment they arrive.
Families who prioritize academic momentum and individual attention will find Burlington HS performing at a level rarely seen in any Oklahoma zip code.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 33 students, Burlington HS is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 6.6:1, Burlington HS offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Burlington HS may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
