Learning:BHS has some really fun classes but also some really boring classes. Most of the teachers make it fun. However, I would say about 15%, give or take, students don't wanna be there or aren't excited about the learning.Special Education:From my understanding, students with disabilities are cared for and have accommodations, but frankly it could be better.Teaching:I have yet to meet one terrible teacher. Yes, some students dislike some teachers because of a bad experience, typically of the students own fault. Mrs. Glisch, Mr. Gribble, and Mr. Nie are the best hands down, so nice, welcoming, and funny.Safety:The school itself is rather safe, I'd say. However, bullying and discrimination from students is very present and I haven't seen any members of the administration actually do anything about it. The counselors are less than satisfactory, taking a while to respond, if ever (and sometimes they aren't even helpful). There are fights sometimes and also threats to the school, but they have been handled as they occur, but not stopped or prevented.Social-Emotional Support:Some teachers will ask students about themselves and if they are doing okay. Some teachers have the suicide prevention hotline posted on the wall somewhere. We even have an awareness day of it. But BHS isn't doing the best it can. I know many people who've wanted to end it or hurt themselves and BHS hasn't done anything or tried to help or prevent it.Family Engagement:Many families engage with BHS, some families are even apart of the schools (i.e. teachers). Most families do help with volunteering and like helping with the Musicals and such. Pretty good overall.Final Verdict:Burlington High School can either be a fun experience or a mediocre experience. Learning is fun, teachers get students engaged in the material and explain it really well. BHS provides for disabled students and accommodate rather well, but could do more. Teachers are the best I've ever known, and I've studied at exactly 6 schools and none of them even compare to these teachers. Families engage with the school on a regular basses and have no problem with it. Quite a few students are discriminated against by their fellow peers, I've seen it and I've heard it. I've been scared to do things because I don't want to be harmed by my peers. Also, BHS could do more for our mental health.Thank you for reading.

I work at Karcher School over the summer and I see that kids really engage in their classrooms during summer school. The principal and staff are very accommodating. I enjoy working at their school because its an up to date state of the art facility, they use the latest cleaning technology. They care about their kids there.

My one daughter really enjoyed it here, but she is much different from my other youngest child. She is very bubbly and met her best friend there, but my youngest was bullied a lot and now believes its her fault because she often wore the same clothes. Not sure what I am supposed to say about that. The teachers could also be better, it's based on luck if you get a nice, respectable teacher or a rude, old one. Other than that, and the drama between students, the school is alright.
