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.

The small classes were fantastic, but it made bullying harsh because you can't get away. Teachers are great some better than others but all of them have an abundance of character. It is quite nice most days. But, I do wish to see that early graduation was easier and student appreciation was a year round thing.

This is not the best school, some of staff can be very rude and not understanding at all but others are very nice and want to help you. I feel that the curriculum is not at all personalized to what an individuals needs are or what they want to do later in life. this, is do to the fact that it is a smaller school but i would prefer to learn things i can use in my career field.
