Burnett Middle School

Your child is not safe at this school. The staff puts their hands on children. They allow bullying. They allow bullying after being informed. Physical bullying. Teacher student favoritism. Teacher will kick your child to the back of the room to avoid working with them. If your child needs glasses, breaks them in the back of the class, teacher refuses to put your child in the front where the can see even with a doctor's note. You must have the doctor write it on a prescription or they will ignore your every attempt to help your child. Must have a prescription to sit where you can see the board. I can go on. I would forward all my emails if it would help

We discharged our son because they bullied him and did nothing to stop him. I am currently in the Army waiting for the process they do to the families and our son needed to complete a document from this school that was his previous one and they never filled out the paper after two weeks they said they lost it.

This school is terrible the principle makes snarky comments to my daughter about her relatives and herself which alone I should go to the school board for second one of her teachers singles her out yells at her and doesn’t call on her when she raises her hand verified by my niece and the the little girls call her white girl ghost so on and they need some parenting this school is truly disgusting and I’d never suggest anyone go here

My first grader attended this school for the entirety of her kindergarten year and 2 months of her first grade year. I'll start by saying the communication is poor aside from automatic text messages and announcements sent out, you can call the school and leave messages but no one will reply. Homework is slim to none and most of it is expected to be done and or accessed online, rarely will you ever have tangible homework unless it's a "DIY" come up with your own lesson. Which seems to be a common theme.Within a month of my daughters first grade year (maybe even a few days shy) my daughter's teacher told me ("in the nicest way possible") that my daughter needed to be medicated. That, "some kids" just need it, as she went on to explain that my daughter just lacks the capability of learning and or retaining information because she needs to be medicated. Realistically she just wanted a student that would numbly sit in a chair for 8 hours drooling. I still moved forward with an ADHD evaluation for my child, all while being asked more than once by her teacher "about when she would be starting that medication?" In the end I did not go through with medication for my child because there is nothing "wrong" with her. Host program is out of control, students opening the door to release your child, a different young adult every day asking "who you're there for" without asking for ID. Children with phones watching inappropriate videos and showing them to the younger attendees. This entire review could've been a phone call discussion if you had the capability of returning a phone call. I would NOT recommend this school for anyone.
