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.

Teachers are very adaptable to your situation. There are some problems if you are queer but other than that, this school is very good

Burns was a fantastic high school to attend. Given that it was a smaller school is was still great with opportunities and spirit. The only issue I had with the school was that one of the teachers I had didn't do their job and sucked at teaching as they only focused on sports and not the students in his classroom. He is the only issue I had with that school. Other than that I wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

My high school experience has been a total rollercoaster full of emotions. I've met so many amazing people but at the same time been exposed to so much toxicity within the school community. Mental health is never talked about even under crucial circumstances.

This school is the Camelot to your king Arthur. the peanut butter to your PBJ. We are the fruit to your loom. the solo cup to a party. Macklemore to Ryan Lewis. we are the best, and we like turtles.
