GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I left here in 2016 in 6th grade so I don't know how its been since then. But while I was there it was okay, I had good memories even though I got bullied because I didn't wear deodorant, but its okay now. The teachers are definitely eccentric and unique so that's a roller coaster. I hated the food so much, but t was fun we played wii and watched movies during recess over the winter. They have a HUGEEEE filed and a nice playground. There were also a lot of fun school activities like skating trips and filed day. Its not a HORRIBLE school but its also definitely not the best. Burnside honestly has always been an enigma to me and forever will be. The plays are super fun. Once we did the "Grinch who Stole Christmas" and the Grinch slipped and I couldn't stop laughing even when it was my turn to speak. Good school I guess.
