GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Burchell really helped me in more ways than just graduating highschool. The mentors are super understanding when it comes to mental health. I genuinely believe that being able to work at my own pace is the only reason i graduated.

I am a Junior this year graduating from Burchell High School. My school in my opinion is very safe and effective. I see others that are struggling in their life, getting help from the councilors, nurses, and teachers. This school is a bully free zone. If someone is being harassed at this school, the Principal and Vice Principal have a meeting and decide what to do from there. This school has changed so much since I started to go in 2010 with only two credits. There are programs that kids sign up to do to help other stragglers like Peer Helpers, TATU ( teens against tobacco use. ). This school deserves to be recognized for the integrity and challenges we all have had faced. I love my high school.

Burchell High is by far the best school to attend in the valley. This school gives kids that might not have ever had a chance to graduate the opportunity to succeed. They treat you like an adult and teach you how to function in the real world. Unlike other schools in Wasilla, Burchell doesn't tolera...
