We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked most of the teachers, but definitely not most of the students. I would like to see diversity change, as well as any drama and attitudes of students.

I love burns, the teachers are awesome and the library is really cool place to hang out. A lot of drama happens, but thats just students. The administration is okay, not good nor bad. And the lunch food is eh. There are few clubs. Mr. Mercer is the best teacher ever. Many good memories. Gym sucks tho, take it in 6th grade then opt out the rest of the years.
