Posted by a parent on 5/28/2021Our firstborn has had a wonderful experience at Burton so far (2 years). The teachers have been so supportive and skilled in working with them, and we are excited for the rest of their years there. The way Burton handled the transition to digital schooling (and then to offering both in-person and di

Posted by a parent on 12/3/2018My experience at this school has been quite positive over the last several years.
Posted by a teacher on 11/30/2018School has a high turn over rate every year, you will not see the same staff members each school term. The administrators lack leadership skills among its staff and as well with parents. If your thinking about enrolling your child here I would research other magnet/IB schools before doing so.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were only able to be at RN Harris for one year and then moved out of the area.I would say this is a very child centered school. My child responded very well to this environment.The staff were very responsive to parent communication at all levels. The school worked closely with local organizations to make sure kids went home with food during school breaks. This demonstrated to me that the school staff were aware of the needs of their students outside of school hours as well.We miss you guys!Parent Review3y ago - C. C. Spaulding Elementary

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince getting new administration our school has taken an even greater turn for the better! Our principal is a leader who pushes our students and staff to succeed and do their best. Our teachers TRULY love our students and would do anything for them. Interventions are in place for students who are struggling, AIG is in place for students who are excelling, and there are plenty of extra curricular activities for students such as after school, tutoring, violin, soccer, cheerleading, and more! The school has ramped up its community and parent involvement through tons of school events like hispanic heritage night, black history night, kickball night, smores night, reading events, sneaker balls, plays, musical performances, etc. The progress at this school is really something you want to be a part of!Teacher Review1y ago - Quality Education Institute
