Burnet Elementary School

There are some great things at this school. The majority of teachers really care about their students and provide a strong educational foundation. However , the administration , particularly the superintendent ignores issues , rather brushing them under the rug for appearance sake. Including when it is reported a teacher is mistreating students. Teachers are overworked and taken advantage of to add another “checkmark” on the list of what is done. That said , the teachers here really care about the kids to be able to work here. So for many kids it is a very positive experience.

My daughter has been at this school for four years now and we have never had a problem that was not addressed immediately and or resolved. This school has awesome teachers and students, my daughter has learned quite well for her age. And though we had part remote learning last yeart and will have some this new 2021 school year that I truly believe that my daughter will fall right in place for her grade this year due to her excelling prior to this pandemic. I will definitely send my child to this school.

They emphasize and promote intensive teaching with competent teachers who promote a culture of learning and development mostly due to the compensation the school receives when the students perform on state tests.. This a positive in every way where all the students and the school benefits...If they didn't have an incentive, this school would perform at average or below standards due to the the area which is economicly disadvantaged and where English is a second language for many if not he majority...I applaud the state for setting the school up this way...it is a win win for all of its students regardless of their background....

This school works hard to try to help their students they do their best with the funding they have

Love this school. My son was accepted to the G/T program where they children stay in that class for the entire day. Miss Miller was excellent!

To be quite honest, we were really nervous to send our son there. He had never stayed with a non-family member and now we were going to send him to daycare. Let me tell you, we could not be happier. The staff there truly love the kids. I'm constantly in awe of how they're able to manage and keep smiles on their faces. Our son is so spoiled and loved. Since starting EEP, he's really come out of his shell. The school is student focused and family centered. There are opportunities to get to know more families, my son has a great little group of friends, and the staff is so awesome. The hours can be a concern, but we do early drop off and extended day, which means that he's there from 7:45-3pm, which is pretty much a school day. If those hours work for you, DO IT. You definitely won't regret sending your kid(s) there.
