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.

One of the best parts of my experiences was connecting with the teachers. One of the worst parts of experiences has to be the lack of concern for education. During school, I saw many people cutting class, doing things like vaping, hanging out by the stairwell, etc. If I could change something I would have a policy that send the kids back to class rather than them cutting.

Burton has been an awesome experience. Classes are manageable, folks are welcoming, teachers are easy to communicate with, and I felt safe and at ease attending.

There are limited options for AP courses. The school culture has too much vaping and people messing around in the hallways. The tennis courts and basketball courts outside are in terrible condition. The best part is probably meeting new people and having some good history teachers.

If you have an issue or any questions they always do their best to accommodate you or refer you to the right person. I always feel good about my kids...

I'm currently a sophomore at this school and I think its pretty good because they have a great staff and amazing teachers.
