I started attended Burroughs Fall 2021 and I left Winter 2022, ever since I have been enrolled in Independent Study and am still a Burroughs Student. I don't know as much about Burroughs as an average student would but from my experience it isn't the most awesome high school.

Our Clubs and activities are abundant and the CTE and STEM classes are really fun. We have a lot of sports but all put our XC, Volleyball, and Baseball team suck.
10/8/2023
The only good part about the school in the music program, but we are super under funded because all that school cares about is its sports teams that suck.

Burroughs has done really well for my students. One just started college and Burroughs has prepped him well. The Honors AP courses prepare students well for what is expected of them in college. The other non-private place in town is called Opportunities for Learning; it is just a credit mill that ha...

Burroughs is definitely lacking compared to other schools. Having moved from Indiana, my son was in the middle of his junior year where he was in the college prep curriculum. At Burroughs, he was relearning things he had learned at the junior high level. After 2 months, I pulled him out and transfer...
