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.

I graduated from Burchell, and everything I've done there helped prepare me for being on my own, being ready for college, and just straight up improve my life. It's an amazing school.

The fitness at Burchell High School is great. They offer gym classes for people who are more into sports, Archery for kids who like to go to competitions, and Dance class for those who like to put on shows for the school and community. I was apart of both Archery and Dance class. Both after school classes. This experience has highered my self esteem. I learned that I can do anything I set my mind to do.
