My eldest child went through this school and my youngest is currently enrolled now. I immediately must warn you….BEWARE of the assistant principal! She will speak over you if you have a concern and make matters MUCH worse. She’s a nightmare. I definitely recommend skipping her and going straight to the head Principal for your concern. He definitely takes care of business and will treat you with respect. Unfortunately this school has A LOT of kid drama. Just in this past 2 weeks there have been 6-8 fights. It got so bad that our kids called us to pick them up cause they were scared. I pulled up to a long line out the door of upset parents waiting to sign their kid out after lunch. School never called to let us know what was going on. It’s just absurd. When it comes to teaching, some teachers can be helpful and some are obviously there to get a paycheck. They don’t care. Don’t believe me… go check out the schools math rating. Last time I checked the percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 29% (which is lower than the California state average of 40%). At what point are we not going to start blaming the teachers for this insane percentage? My youngest kid’s math teacher will not accept ANY late HW even if sick. I have a ton of college classes under my belt (100 units plus) and I’ve never encountered a teacher like this one. During the student teacher meeting, she either looked at me with a blank stare or just repeatedly said no with a smirk when I asked her if there was anything my kid could do to make up for it. I could go on and on about it but I’ll just leave you with this reminder….. there is a reason this school has a 3/10 rating. Can not wait till my kid is done with this school. Good luck to all you other parents and just pray your child can get through this school without feeling mentally beaten down.

I went to Burbank and it was very supportive! The teachers were all super nice and always making school a place to be exciting thing to look forward to everyday.

This school is amazing. Definitely has some of the best teachers you can find. Mr. Abejuela has a pull-up bar in his classroom and challenges students not only mentally but physically. Mr. Dissalvo always presents both sides to any argument so we could form our own opinions and even let us debate in the middle of class often. Mr. Wendel wrote a song and sang it with his guitar for our class at the end of the year, it was hilarious! Mr. Graham was an amazing science teacher and made learning about moles and the periodic table interesting. Ms. Alvarez was the most passionate teacher who ensured that each and every student had the help they needed to pass her class. Finally, Mr. Rivero always had a smile on his face and being in his class, even during Saturday school, brought happiness.
