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.

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.

This school has excellent academics as well as caring teachers that work to help their students in the best way possible. While discipline could be handled better, overall the faculty make this school a positive environment and a wonderful place to raise intelligent students.

My overall experience at Burris Laboratory school has gone well. When I first started at Burris in sixth grade there where a lot of strict rules that had to be met. Over these past few years most of those rules have not been in-forced. There is a lot more freedom among the students and staff than any other school in the area. I personally like having more freedom and the ability to move at my own pace. As a whole Burris is like a family. Because we are such a small school everybody knows a little bit about everyone. It's a very welcoming environment for all ages k-12 and I hope, when I am older to look back at my life at Burris and be glad that I went there.
