Burlington High School has some good attributes; mainly a number of awesome teachers who are excellent educators who go above and beyond the call of duty, stand outs I know of are in history, language, and the music program is excellent. Unfortunately this is countered by *way* too many teachers who have made it their mission to pass their personal political viewpoints onto their students. So, if you want your kids to embrace socialism, be taught that race and ethnicity define who people are, learn why America and the west--and law enforcement-- is intrinsically racist and bad, & why the world would be a better place without white males, then this is the school for your kids...I haven't been particularly impressed with the science program either, which is surprising considering we are in MIT-land. Although, to be fair, my kids are underclassmen so that could change. Also, maybe as in most high schools these days, who knows, there seems to be a fair amount illegal drug use. Vaping is certainly widespread, and such a problem that they often shut most of the bathrooms down to try and stifle that issue, but with only 3 minutes in between classes and an expansive building having 2 bathrooms open can be pretty miserable for students. I feel a little bad writing this are there are some really caring, decent people who do a great job at Burlington High. However, there are just too many negatives to say it's a good school. I honestly can't wait to get my kids out of there.

Any school that’s in the media for the unfair way that they treat kids rights is not a good place to educate. They prioritize other things above education. Take your children out now!

My son attended 4th and 5th grade here. The teacher's were absolutely wonderful. I really wish they had 6th grade here so he could stay at the school. He teacher's went above and beyond what you expect. The PTA is well run and they had many activities throughout the year for the kids. It is a great school and I recommend it highly .
