Ethel M. Burke Elementary School

Very invested principal and teachers. Parents feel very safe with consistent presence of law enforcement. Take 504 plans very seriously and help kids get what they need , and very communicative .

My kids are going to this school Staff are so kind and give parents respect and help them to deal with any kind of educational and emotional issues of kids .The Principal is so kind to students as well as parents too .All staff are so hard working .God blessed them .

I am a teacher myself and I am very disappointed with the treatment I received from Maureen! It is very hard to enroll your child in a school where you do not feel welcomed! Maureen was very rude and talked to her staff as if they were beneath her. I feel as though she even tried to belittle me. She made me uncomfortable by writing letters down and asking my child if she knew any of them when my child was coming the following Tuesday to take a test for entering the pre-k program. I asked several questions to get a better understanding of the program and she was very cut, dry and passive aggressive about answering them. The staff looked unhappy and as Maureen bickered with me, a concerned parent trying to pick a great school for her child to attend, they just looked down from embarrassment. I would not recommend anyone to put their child in a school where administration does not welcome the parent. Team work and communication is for the better for our children for a bright future!

My experience with this school is phenomenal. They take the time to actually get to know the child and the family so the educational instruction is suited to the individual. I am glad to be in such an inviting atmosphere where you can feel the care provided by the staff and the involvement of the families.
