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.

I loved going to school at Burncoat. It is an amazing place to try new things. I have been in the music program there for 4 years. I was a part of the chorus and we had such an amazing time. We learned, through music, that when you make mistakes the best thing is to keep going. The friends I made here were people who built me up and helped me in everything I did. I hope to keep in touch and not lose relationships.

The school building may look old but the people in the the school have morderme standards. The teachers teach very well and if you put in effort you can graduate as a valedictorian. My experience in the school has been good so far. The school has programs like Early college where you can take college classes for both high school and college credit, a JROTC program, clubs and more which makes the lives of the students more fun. I hope you join out school so you can get a chance to experience these things.

I attend this school, and have attended it for a couple of years now. I have had no behavioral problems myself, but when I look around this school us just a...
