This School’s Reviews

1.0 Sophomore

8/25/2025

My time at burncoat was horrible, one of my teachers treated me like i was someone to pick on? some teachers are very sweet and nice but the school itself is disgusting. the cafeterias always smell horrible and i asked about it once, they said "something must have died again". they did nothing to fix that and it stunk all year, it literally traveled through the vents into the classroom and it got so bad we had to leave early. if you wanna go to a good school this one is definitely not it, your children will be disgusted themselves. 3/10 school (a 3 bc i got to meet good friends)

4.0 Senior

3/4/2025

The building is literally falling apart. Other than that it is generally a positive environment and teachers are very supportive of all students. Overall a great school.

3.0 Junior

6/4/2024

Burncoat High School does not have enough disclipline for their students. Many classes are unorganized due to student behavior. Some teachers have a better ability to control this than others.

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...
