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.

My School is available with a lot of different options when wanting to have fitness opportunities. My school is an alternative school, so kids are able to travel to different schools while still enrolled and join any sports team available. They also offer yoga now, dance class, and also, outdoor rec. All these were supported by the staff of Burchell High School to help students get up and get moving.

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.

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...
