“My daughter was enrolled in a local private school for her freshman year and we ran into many complications. It got so bad, I had to pull her out and I placed her at Burroughs. We couldn't be happier! The staff is wonderful and they help her stay on track while maintaining a 3.8 GPA while being involved in extracurricular activities and sports. My daughter has made many friends and so have I. We couldn't be happier!”

“With all the school shootings going on in the rest of the country I was a little concerned, but I spoke to the Assistant Principal. They have all sorts of stuff in place to keep the kids safe. They really care about the kids. It feels like a family!”

“I can not say enough about the positive experience my son has had at this school. He is challenged academically in his honors classes and in the advanced placement class he is attending. He is in the chamber choir which has been an incredible experience for him as well. His self esteem and confidence has soared as his ability to perform in front of a mass of people has developed. He is so happy attending this school. He makes all A's and is already planning for college. This school and the parents invest in the students.”

“a relatively good school, but when i complained to the principal about some clearly biased and inappropriate political 'education' going on in a tenth grade world history class, the response was underwhelming, to say the least.”

“Well I'm not a parent but I'm currently a sophmore (9/18/03) and i have to say that Burroughs High is one the best around. Sure there is tons of construction going on but just wait until second semester and everything will open. To those kids who complain about being tardy, try not to stop and talk to your friends during passing period, or try going around the crowd, all the buildings have multiple exits/entrances and stairways for accessablity. Also, the teachers are very good at this school, but like all groups, there are always a few bad teachers here and there. Compared to middle school, my average GPA has raised from a 3.3 to a 3.8”

“There is so much construction going on in the school that there isnt even room for anyone to sit. My child has been tardy many times because of crowded halls, they need to improve on their construction.”

“Burroughs turned out to be a better school than I'd expected. My son, in 9th grade, has been able to maintain a B average throughout his first year at Burroughs, due in part to his counselor, Mrs. Smith, who has stayed on top of his progress and been easily contacted when needed. Parents do need to stay on top of their students and the teachers though to keep abreast of what's going on on a daily basis...but that's true with any school these days.”
