Burrel Union Elementary

Burrel Union Elementary is an active, single-school public district located at 16704 South Jameson Ave. in Riverdale, California. Nestled in a distant rural setting within the broader Fresno metropolitan area, this traditional public school district serves children from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Operating outside of a charter system or supervisory union, the district acts as a central educational hub for its local community, delivering dedicated instruction focused on early childhood and middle-grades academic growth across its single operational campus.

The district supports a close-knit student body of 94 enrolled learners, comprising 52 female and 42 male students, with strong Hispanic representation alongside White and Asian peers. Burrel Union Elementary maintains an impressive staffing framework designed to foster individualized instruction and comprehensive student development. With a total workforce of 34 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members—including 16 FTE teachers, 1.5 FTE instructional aides, and 16.5 FTE dedicated support staff—the district provides an exceptionally low student-to-educator environment. For parents, students, and educational researchers, Burrel Union Elementary highlights the strength of small-scale, well-resourced rural education.
