Burke basic school is an awful place to work. Do not work here or send your children to this school. The day to day is so stressful & toxic. The administration is not supportive & they see everyone as a number. The curriculum is so outdated. They force kids to sit at their desk & do worksheets all d
Posted by a teacher on 10/4/2024Burke basic school is the worst school to be a teacher. It is also the worst school to attend as a student or family. The school does not have qualified or certified teachers. The administration and curriculum staff are not qualified in education. They created the school to make money off low income

Posted by a community member on 9/22/2020All of my children have gone to Burke. I would recommend this school to any parents that want their student to be challenged and cared for.
Posted by a parent on 2/9/2020I loved teaching here! The teachers were a wonderful, supportive, and fun group. I loved the kids more than I can say. Mr. Gaddie and Mr. Gaddie run a truly great school.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has ADHD, and this school has truly been life-changing for him. He thrives with the structure and consistency of the Franklin program, and we’ve seen tremendous growth in both his academic skills and his confidence. Every staff member he interacts with greets him with genuine care, and he comes home talking about how they make him feel seen and supported. He is excited to go to school every single day—a feeling we never take for granted. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Franklin Downtown and are so grateful for the environment, routines, and relationships that have helped him shine.Parent Review7mo ago - Holmes Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSome of the teachers here are really wonderful however others don't treat the children very good at all. I've noticed that some of the teachers here talk down to the kids and don't treat them with kindness at all. Seems as though they very much have the mentality that children should be seen and not heard. My kids complained on several occasions that the teachers would raise their voice without reason, sometimes so loud they explained being frightened by certain teachers. Also I had called and requested my child be seen by the school counselor and my daughter said they never followed up. The bullying at this school is not taken seriously at all and often times is brushed off and the bullied kids walk away from situations feeling like they are at fault. I can't wait for the year to end to not have anything else to do with this school.Parent Review4mo ago - Lincoln Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLincoln is a little diamond in the rough. My kids attended another Mesa elementary school and we had a bad experience. We changed to Lincoln and what a difference! Lincoln has an amazing group of teachers, support staff, administrators and students! Everyone wants my kids to succeed! Bullying is not tolerated. I would highly recommend Lincoln to anyone!Parent Review2y ago - Lowell Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would say overall it was an enormous waste of our money and of our children's time. By the time we took our students out of this school they were so far behind (in math in particular) that it was embarrassing to them at their new schools.Parent Review6y ago - Evit - Mesa Junior High School
