We have had an amazing experience at Burning Tree. Small classes, involved parents, amazing teachers. Could not ask for anything more!
Posted by a parent on 5/11/2026My son has attended 1st grade this year and I have nothing but great things to say about Burning Tree! He came in as a “new” kid this year, but had great friends by the end of his first week which was such a relief. Class sizes are small, his class is 16, which allows all the kids to work
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2026The Learning Center program at Burning Tree is deeply neglected, under and poorly staffed, high turnover and utterly fails its students. The principal is aware of the issues but does not care to improve it or help the students receive an education or the basic things required by their IEPs.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince Dr. Zaks joined as principal in 2022, the school has been amazing for my child, who has special education needs. The teachers are great, as is the entire administration. There is plenty of family involvement and a very active PTA. The school provides a nurturing and supportive environment where students feel valued and encouraged to succeed.Parent Review3mo ago - The Primary Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNorwood has been a truly a magical place for both of my children. We joined the Norwood community 8 years ago, when my daughter was starting kindergarten and my son was starting 3rd grade. Norwood has not only provided them with an exceptional education, but also has instilled in our kids a remarkable work ethic, has fostered their curiosity and confidence, and has made them feel “truly known” as individuals. In addition, coming from Norwood, my son was incredibly prepared for high school, more than many of his peers coming from other local K-8 or middle schools. My husband and I have also found the Norwood community to be warm, supportive, and engaging. It has become a second home for our family.Parent Review7mo ago - The Woods Academy
