burrillville highschool is a horrible place. they teach you what you need to teach, but the environment is terrible. the kids are awful to eachother & themsleves. most students ether smoke marijuana or do a different drug. the teachers don't wanna be there. they don't like the kids. they have decent pathways but the mental health issues with the students isn't worth. if your even considering brining your child here really consider there mental health, becuase the kids here are stuggling. and things got a lot better for my kids the second we moved to Ponagansett high school. my son didn't start stuggling till he moved here and all those problems went away as soon as we switched schools. these are kids not robots.

In this high school, I was able to figure out myself and what I wanted to do with my future. The CTE programs I was in, (education and engineering) were amazing to be in and you make lots of connections you can use in the future.

Steer clear of this mess of a school. The administrators are so out of touch and still think Digital Portfolio is relevant but even if you go to any college in the USA they will never even look at it. Total waste of time and resources. Whoever made it up should be fired and exiled from working at sc...
