Burke Elementary School

We have been very happy with our children attending NWC. From our own experience the staff goes out of their way to make kids feel safe, seen and supported.

Overall I do not recommend this school. My son has attended since kindergarten and is now in third grade. He has slipped through the cracks and is still at a kindergarten level. Despite being told he is progressing over and over when in reality he is not and our family had to outsource tutoring. The administration is continually changing, the teachers are usually out due to whatever reasons meaning you will see a lot of subs often. The lack of communication between years is horrific. I will say you do get the occasional nice teacher which only happened once for my son then he had a sub for the rest of the year. From his first year he had a teacher that should have retired , allot of the teachers you see will have no patience and yelling is what they think helps. This school has really gone down hill. Think highly of not sending your child here because they do not have any plans in place for bullying either and you will need to advocate for your child big time here. Unexperienced and unprofessional school.

It is okay but the food is disgusting i mean cold frozen and old. My friend sitting in front of me reported seeing a rat running across the cafeteria stage THIS afternoon! REALLY?!
