National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Burbank has more public-school enrollment than 57% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Reavis High School enrolls 37.2% of Burbank's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

The school portfolio is elementary-weighted

6 of Burbank's 9 listed schools are elementary campuses. That composition means citywide enrollment and staffing averages are influenced more by early-grade operating patterns than by the city's 1 middle and 1 high-school records. Families comparing later grades should rely on those individual rows rather than the all-school mean.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Burbank lists only 9 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 186 to 1,930 students, a 10-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

City enrollment: Top 43%
School count: Top 46%
Resource Index average: 37th percentile
Teacher staffing: 58th percentile

Reavis High School accounts for 37.2% of all Burbank public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Burbank-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Burbank school enrollment varies 10× across entities

Burbank school enrollment ranges from 186 students (lowest) to 1,930 students (highest), a spread of 1,744 students. That spread reflects typical urban portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Burbank student-teacher ratio is 14.7:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Burbank is typically wider than the Burbank-aggregate figure suggests.
