The teachers are caring and professional. Teachers are willing to communicate with parents and update the parents if situation arises. The counselors are professional and considerate. Thank you for doing an excellent job.

Zero parent involvement!! Almost one full school year has gone by without being able to go inside the school or meet with any teacher. As a parent I want to be involved but this school does not interact with parents except via zoom like webinars. I am missing personal involvement. Nor am I informed how my child is doing except weekly generated reports on Schoology. Parents conferences seem to take place secretly or they don’t even exist. This is our first year at JB and I am greatly disappointed. Also, there are rarely crossing guards around to assist students. I am missing the personal touch!!!However, academically it is a superior school and my daughter likes it.

First of all I am currently going to this school and I really hate it , not only are some of the teachers biased , but they are just kinda bad . Homework is fine but it could be better honestly . I’m not sure abt leadership . All I know is that the students in this school have no manner and they are super racist . I had people call me terrorist and call bad stuff becuase I’m Muslim , but they did nothing about it . It really depends on the teacher about learning differences , some teachers do basically nothing and some teachers are pretty helpful. What do they do abt bullying? Pffft they know literally nothing , so much kids get bullied in John Burroughs and they do nothing about it. I’m a muslim and it’s really common of me to get bullied by other students , I have complained to the school of students being full on racist and saying racist slurs and they didn’t do much good either. This school says it’s an anti bully zone. But doesn’t know the difference between joking and actual racism . John Burroughs , what are you doing . I have one more year and I don’t think I want to go anymore , I really don’t like it here , I’m glad it’s online for now. I don’t have to deal with racist people. Overall this school is just a no, I do not like it here, mostly because the kids have no manners and people are racist , and the school doesn’t know how to teach kids. , please do not go to this school if your kid gets bullied , or just don’t go to this school at all. Really bad. Everyone has no manners. Deserves a 0/5.
