It's a great school with just a few flaws that tend to stack on top of each other. The academics and arts programs are great, though with limited funding. Sports are alright, again, there is limited funding. Overall, the school is great.

My experience at Burbank High School was very good all of my teachers provided me with all the resources I needed to succeed. I was more than prepared for college thanks to my teachers there. Our performing arts was amazing as well. Only thing I feel like could have been worked on was the kindness of our students.
