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.

I wouldn't recommend this school due to the lack of strong leadership at school. Kids get away with some terrible things and it's confusing to the kids that want to learn and be good.

I have been pleasantly surprised with Burcham. In a couple years I am sure they will move their score to a 7 or 8 out of 10. Our son is in kindergarten and loves his teacher. The principal is very involved, accessible and fun with the kids.
