The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 honestly have not had the best experience at Burleson High School. There isn't very much diversity. As a queer person who presents themselves in a feminine way, I find myself tormented and isolated by my fellow students. I have found joy in performing though. The fine arts programs, while very flawed have been a safe space for me at Burleson High School. I cannot wait to move on from this school as soon as I can and pursue the things I love and live my life as my unapologetic self.

I have loved the teachers at BHS. They tend to be understanding, helpful, and fun in every aspect of their work. However when it comes to help outside of regular school work, like clubs, college readiness, etc, information is available but tends to be hard to find and understand. I felt like my time since coming to BHS has been a rollercoaster but the teachers and my family have help greatly along the way. I do wish however that more would be done to help students with planning rather than keeping a GPA.

This may se...

Burleson High School has been great for our son the last three years. He will be a Senior this year and we are sad he will be leaving next year. The staff, administration, counselors and teachers have gone above and beyond! You will see many one star reviews because, let’s face it kids really don’t...

I’m actually quite astonished at previous reviews given, because Burleson High School has been nothing short of amazing! As a new student to the district in 2020 he was apprehensive, as were his father and I. His counselor Mrs. Janek went above and beyond, and 2 years later continues to be available...
