High quality and high commitment faculty and administrative teams. Smaller classroom sizes. Strong and aspirational culture. Good tech to support student organizational skills development, and also communication between teachers and parents. Less competitive in some athletic programs.

Going to the Edmund Burke School has had its ups and downs. I struggled a lot most of my high school career academically because of my home life. Although it was hard to keep up with my work, I always had a support system there to help me when I was down. I enjoyed playing volleyball here for three years and if I could play more I would. I will say the independence that I've had here has prepared me well for college. Sometimes the issues with not enough diversity have played a part in not having good experiences, but I will say it gets handled very well.

Burke is an incredible school with an amazing principal and top-notch teachers. I have thrived during my time here - everyone is kind and diversity is valued. The academics are challenging but everyone is truly supportive. Overall, I feel like I have made some wonderful friends and couldn't be happier.

The school enviornment is unsupportive and very clique-y. Do not recomend unless you're prone to being popular and happen to play soccer. If you already accepted..good luck.

Burke changed my life. It gave me the confidence and support I needed as a young person to succeed in life, and I would highly recommend the school to prospective families. Just make sure to apply for scholarship, because that price tag keeps going up.

Ok, really loved this school! Let's start with the bad stuff: Small issues here and there, pricetag is way too high, some classes aren't all that much better than public school. The middle school is a bit of a joke, way too small and disorganized. Save your money for the high school program. The Hig...

I am a parent with two children at Burke. I am a DC native who went to top private schools; I got a great education but never felt that my schools created a warm community. Burke is different. The school combines strong academics with a huge emphasis on social development and kindness. There are som...
