GreatSchools Rating
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.

The teachers are great, sports are fantastic, the food is so-so and you never get enough. The facilities are terrible right now (an old Macy's building with no windows) but a new school is being built. Discipline seems non-existent but if you want to learn, you definitely can.

My experience at Burlington High School has been overall good. However, my way of learning doesn't necessarily fit a traditional school setting.
4.0 Freshman
5/4/2023
I am only a freshman but hat I like about this school is that we are in a mall which is pretty interesting. BEing in the second whitest state in the U.S., my school is pretty diverse compared to other high schools I have seen in Vermont.
